Since the inception of Naperville READS in 2002, the goals have included engaging the entire community in reading and then discussing selected titles.
The program promotes the pleasures of reading as well as providing a way for all ages to discuss the issues and concepts involved in the selected titles. Naperville READS is sponsored by Jumping Off the Page in partnership with Anderson’s Bookshop, Naperville Public Library, Naperville Community Unit School District 203 and Indian Prairie School District 204.
The project is partially supported by a grant from the City of Naperville. Previous Naperville READS authors have included Luis Alberto Urrea, Antonio Sacre, Anthony Horowitz, Jon Scieszka, Neil Gaiman, Gary Paulsen, Gary Moore, Daniel Pink, Brian Selznick, Dan Gutman, Pete Hamill, Jerry Spinelli, Kevin Henkes, Tracy Chevalier, Yann Martel, Katherine Hannigan, Kate DiCamillo, Joseph Bruchac, Greg Mortenson, Jodi Picoult and Lisa See.
