Community Care
February 8 – March 31, 2022
Read Brave Saint Paul is a citywide, intergenerational reading initiative that centers the power of books to ignite empathy and help us think of big ideas to build a better Saint Paul. Read Brave connects readers of all ages to one another through the five books, their authors, programs, and a call to action.
Read.
Talk.
Talk about the books and the theme of community care with your neighbors, friends, and family. Use our toolkit that provides resources for digging in and facilitating brave conversations that push our city forward. Resources in the toolkit can help you host a conversation, your own event, or incorporate Read Brave into a classroom, book club, or another group.
