Saratoga Reads!
2024 Reading Season

Saratoga Reads wrapped up a fabulous 2011-12 season with a capstone event on April 26 featuring a conversation with David “Sonny” Lacks and David Lacks Jr.—the son and grandson of Henrietta Lacks. Henrietta’s compelling story is told in this year’s book of choice, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, by Rebecca Skloot.

Saratoga Reads and its community partners will offer a number of events in the coming weeks designed to promote reading, discussion, socializing, and the exchange of ideas. The activities range from discussions on medical ethics and journalism to brunch and a Vermont road trip.

Saratoga Reads will present a number of events in March specifically designed for young readers and their families. All events are open to the public free of charge.

Saratoga Reads will launch its new series of public programs with two events in January, one designed for adult readers and one for young readers and their families.

Titles complement this year’s book of choice

Saratoga Reads has announced its choice of a junior discussion book and a list of some 40 other titles for young readers, selected to complement the program’s book of choice for this year—The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot.
