Each winter, Fishtrap brings our local community together to read a work of American literature, providing free books and resources to schools, libraries, and community centers in rural Wallowa and Union counties. In recent years the program has involved 25% of the county population through a mix of discussion groups, films, lectures, in-school curriculum, performances, and exhibits.
