Brookline Reads

Brookline Reads is an annual community-wide reading program sponsored by the Trustees of the Brookline Public Library. This year, we focus on popular mysteries by local authors who have set their works in our community at large: BOSTON!

The 2009 Brookline Reads ended on April 7, 2009. Check back here in early 2010 for information on the next Brookline Reads.
