All Hamptons Read is an annual community reading event for the residents of Northampton, Florence, Easthampton, Southampton, Westhampton, and Williamsburg. This year, we will be reading Ross Gay’s Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude. Copies are available at all participating libraries!

An online book discussion led by the author will take place on Monday, April 14th at 7pm. If you’d like to join the discussion, please register here; you’ll receive an invitation to the Zoom meeting.
