SB Reads
Each year, Santa Barbara Public Library encourages local residents to read the same book at the same time to connect with one another, engage in discussions about issues that matter, and examine the world from viewpoints other than their own. Through Santa Barbara Reads, SBPL distributes free copies of featured titles throughout the community and offers programs and book discussions in order to engage deeply with issues explored in the novel.
The Santa Barbara Public Library invites the community to read and celebrate Isabel Allende's novel A Long Petal of the Sea this fall as part of this year’s annual SB Reads program.
Santa Barbara Reads is funded through the annual support of the Santa Barbara Public Library Foundation. To learn more about the foundation and how to support SB Reads, visit their website.
