The WPLC Digital Library Marketing Committee is pleased to announce a new statewide digital book club, slated for Winter 2026 – Wisconsin Reads!

When: January 15 – March 14, 2026
Title: Still True, by Maggie Ginsberg
What:

  • Ebook and digital audiobook available to library users for the period of the digital book club.
  • Virtual author interview and Q&A event on Wednesday, March 4th, 2026 at 7:00 pm CT (which will be recorded and available after the event). The event will be hosted by Eric Norton, Community Engagement Librarian at McMillan Memorial Library (Wisconsin Rapids). Registration is here.
  • Supporting materials – below you’ll find flyers, an overview handout, a discussion guide, some graphics, and promotional text to help you share the news about Wisconsin Reads and the author event with your community.

Why: To invite new and returning users of Wisconsin’s Digital Library to a shared reading experience with a Wisconsin-rooted book!

Closer to the launch of Wisconsin Reads, we’ll also create a patron-facing page on the WPLC website for you to share with library users, which will include information about the program, the book, the discussion guide, and registration information for the interview.

Please feel free to use any or all of the following resources and be sure to follow the Wisconsin’s Digital Library Facebook or Instagram to easily share information with your own community.

Questions? Reach out to Andi Coffin (acoffin@wils.org) or any member of the WPLC Digital Library Marketing Committee.
