Past themes for the program have included Laughing in the Library, Transcontinental Railroad, Literature of the Japanese-American Internment, Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, the Founders and their Documents, and Beowulf. Weber Reads allows the Weber County Library System to highlight books, coordinate events, screen movies, and invite guest speakers that highlight each year’s theme. Additionally, the Library System creates custom lesson plans to be shared in schools throughout Weber County. Events for this year’s theme will begin in September and take place at all Weber County Library Locations. Adult, Teen, and Kid book discussions during the fall will highlight Indigenous authors and themes. Film screenings and presentations covering various topics from Utah Rock Art to Rug Weaving will happen throughout September, October, and November. Libraries will also be hosting several events in partnership with the Northwest Band of the Shoshone, who are headquartered in Ogden. Topics for these presentations will range from Plants and Harvesting to Housing and Music. The Southwest Branch will also host the Utah Division of Indian Affairs for Indigenous Day on November 3. Events specifically held at Ogden Valley Branch will be available on the monthly calen- dar, at the Weber County Library System website, and in The Ogden Valley News.
