Established in 2003, the purpose of All Iowa Reads is to foster a sense of unity through reading. Iowans are encouraged to come together in their communities to read and talk about a single book title in the same calendar year. Join the Sioux City Public Library for a discussion on this year's book, The Seed Keeper by Diane Wilson.
Told through the perspective of its charming and irresistible narrator, The History of a Difficult Child is about what happens when mother, God, and country are at odds, and how one difficult child finds her voice. There are two in-person sessions each month and a virtual option for those who can't make the in-person meetings!
