About Timberland Reads Together
Message from the Director We invite you to take part in the second Timberland Reads Together, a celebration of reading and community. This year we are featuring Jim Lynch, author of The Highest Tide. Timberland Reads Together celebrates writers for their contributions to broadening our worlds. Besides promoting a passion for reading and bringing people together around books, Timberland wants to support its own community of writers and what a great author to start with. Jim Lynch has received international acclaim for his debut novel featuring the tidal flats of South Puget Sound. By promoting this book and program we enable community members to come together, and talk about their thoughts on the book and the issues it raises. This "Community Reads" program series exemplifies the Library’s mission to provide information, resources, services and places where all people are free to read, learn, connect and grow. We invite you to attend one of five readings by Jim Lynch. There is one in each of the five counties that Timberland Regional Library serves. One-book programs, which have been extremely popular throughout the U.S., were originated at the Seattle Public Library by Nancy Pearl, the retired director of the Washington Center for the Book.
