Good Books. Good Neighbors. Great Conversations.

Love to read? Here’s a new way to connect with neighbors over a good book—without another meeting to put on your calendar.

Every other month, the Cory Neighborhood Book Club will offer 20+ copies of a featured book for neighbors to read and share.

Pick up a copy—and feel free to pick up one for a friend or neighbor you’d like to read with. Then make the Book Club your own. Invite a few neighbors over. Meet for coffee, dessert or a glass of wine. Gather around someone’s kitchen table or sit outside on the patio. Your group can change with every book—or you can simply enjoy the book on your own.

There is no scheduled Book Club meeting and no group you have to join. You decide when, where and with whom you’d like to get together.

And tucked inside each book you’ll find a little something extra:

📖 The Cory Reader — a mini companion with background, things to notice and questions to get the conversation going.

🔎 Bring Your Own Book — a bookmark and book game created especially for each selection. Bring any book and see where the game takes you.

Our First Neighborhood Read

Holmes, Marple & Poe
by James Patterson & Brian Sitts

Three private investigators. Three very familiar names. And plenty of mysteries to unravel.

Where to Pick Up Your Book

Look for the Little Red Library under the Giant Redwood at Walnut Grove Ave & Broadleaf Lane.

Copies of Holmes, Marple & Poe will be available there beginning August 28, while supplies last.

Feel free to take a copy for yourself and maybe one for a friend or neighbor you’d like to read with.

When you’re finished, pass your copy along to another Cory neighbor and keep the reading—and the conversations—going.

Take a book. Invite a neighbor. Start a conversation.
