Since 2003, Spokane Is Reading has presented an annual one-book and one-community reading program to the greater Spokane area. A partnership between Spokane Public Library, Spokane County Library District, and Auntie’s Bookstore, Spokane Is Reading encourages dialogue and builds community through a shared experience of literature. Each year, an author is invited for a minimum of two events, which typically take place in the fall.

This program would not be possible without financial support from the Friends of the Spokane Public Library, Friends groups of the Spokane County Library District, Spokane Arts, and donations and participation from the community.
