Salina Reads 2025 is a community reading series focusing on the theme "Where We Live: Stories of the History and People of Our Community" as inspired by the novel, True Grit by Charles Portis. The goal of the series is to strengthen community connections by widening perspectives and deepening understanding about differing points of view through literature, shared experience and discussion.

The project will offer opportunities for the community to learn about disability and accessibility through programs, discussions, and engagement events centered on the book Sitting Pretty: The View from My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body. We will partner with community organizations to provide a showcase of events that unite the community in a shared literary and cultural experience.
