After the year that was 2020, how about reading a book that celebrates everyday wonders?
You can do so by joining in the Multnomah County Library’s community reading program, Everybody Reads, which this year will feature poet and author Ross Gay’s essay collection “The Book of Delights.”
“ ‘The Book of Delights’ is a needed burst of sunshine at a time heavy with rage, sorrow and pain,” Director of Libraries Vailey Oehlke said in a press release. “Ross Gay encourages us to exercise our delight muscle every day and to ‘attend to the ways we make each other possible.’ ”
