Markham Reads is an annual celebration of books, ideas and community.  Every year we invite readers to pick up a book that will inspire lively conversations across the city.  We also host events and workshops that help people connect more deeply with the book’s themes and ideas (and, of course, with one another).  Each year’s highlighted book is selected by a panel made up of community members and library staff.

Markham Reads first launched in 2012 as One Book One Markham.
