In 2024, ArtReach St. Croix is returning to its roots for Valley Reads, a month-long one book, one community program. After nine years of focusing programming around NEA Big Read titles, this year we are taking a deeper dive into some of the themes, authors and artists that have been featured during the Big Read. Residents are encouraged to read “The House of Broken Angels” by Luis Alberto Urrea.
Read & Release books are now available at ArtReach.
Books are FREE — we want you to pass them along!
If you’d like to contribute to Valley Reads, consider a donation.
