Baraboo Reads Discussion

What is Baraboo Reads? An alliance of professionals involved in fostering education and reading in the Baraboo area will present a series of book discussions in April for people of all ages, focused on books with themes of unity, equity, and inclusivity. Partners in the Baraboo Reads project are the Baraboo Public Library, the Baraboo School District, and UW-Platteville Baraboo Sauk County. The project is part of the Community Action Plan that has so far included Baraboo Gathers, Baraboo Talks, and Baraboo Acts. The action plan was formed in response to the controversial photo that gained media attention in November 2018. Baraboo Reads planners have chosen The Gift of Our Wounds: A Sikh and a Former White Supremacist Find Forgiveness After Hate by Arno Michaelis and Pardeep Singh Kaleka for the adult and high school portion of the project. Copies are available at the campus library.
