Carlsbad Reads Together
Carlsbad Reads Together brings community members together and engages them in discussion about the same selection of books at the same time.
In March 2019, we celebrated the 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley's classic Frankenstein by reading The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein by Kiersten White, her reimagining of the classic story. Throughout March 2019, we hosted book discussions, author events, movies and more. See the full list of events.
Special thanks to the Friends of the Carlsbad Library for their support of Carlsbad Reads Together.
