History of Davis Reads
Davis Reads, a program of the Davis Education Foundation brings communities within Davis County closer together for stimulating discussions, to challenge stereotypes, and generate ideas. The overarching goal of Davis Reads is to build a better community through reading and civic discourse. The literacy initiative encourages individuals and families to read, increase the sense of community by creating a common topic of conversation, and create opportunities to engage people in reading and discussion over a variety of topics.
