This program is designed to unite people from all areas of the College, promote open and extended discussion, provide paths to conflict resolution, and serve as another bridge within the Dartmouth community.

All Dartmouth staff and faculty whether 100% remote or regularly on campus can participate. Participants choose which book they would like to read and then will be instructed on how to receive a free copy. For those that need an accommodation, we will work directly with you so that you can participate in a way that works best for you. Throughout the year we also hold optional community book discussions and provide discussion questions and, when possible, book summaries in advance.

"King, A Life" by Jonathan Eig - Available Today!

We're excited to share that as part of our campus-wide MLK Celebration festivities, we will be releasing our first book of 2026, "King, A Life" by Jonathan Eig on Dr. King's birthday, January 19, 2026. Starting at 9 am, you can pick up your free copy in room 306, Parkhurst Hall. You can also register to receive the book by clicking here. 

2026 Line Up

To avoid taking focus away from our first book, we will announce our 2026 lineup soon. Thank you for your patience as that unfolds. When the announcement is made, you'll have an opportunity to sign up to receive free copies of books as they're dispersed and participate in our optional community book discussions.
