Transforming Health, a WITF initiative in partnership with Capital Blue Cross and WellSpan Health, announced the selection of the 2021 A Summer Read book, "You Belong: A Call for Connection" by Sebene Selassie. This year's A Summer Read selection is an extension of "Here With You," a special Transforming Health campaign to promote physical and mental resiliency.
A Summer Read is a community partnership of WITF's Transforming Health, central Pennsylvania library systems, WellSpan Health and Capital Blue Cross. Together, these organizations have made 633 hard copies and 67 digital copies of the book available to more than 80 participating libraries throughout nine counties. Many libraries are coordinating programs and discussion groups around "You Belong." A Summer Read will culminate with a special event, "A Summer Read: Beyond the Pages," with Selassie in October.
Participants will be eligible to win one of 30 copies of the book and a VIP invitation to attend a special, private signing with the author and the opportunity to hear her speak on Monday, Oct. 11. To be eligible to win a signed copy, participants must complete a survey online or at a participating library by Thursday, Sept. 30.
Participating libraries include Adams, Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry and York counties' public library systems, along with Hershey Public Library and the State Library of Pennsylvania.
