Please join us for Portage CommuniTeen Read, a community read event developed in collaboration by Portage Public Schools, the Portage District Library and Bookbug & This is a bookstore. 

The organizations choose books that are cross-generational for our youth and adults to read together. 

The 2024 CommuniTeen Read book is Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys. The book takes place in 1945 as World War II draws to a close in East Prussia. Thousands of refugees are on a desperate trek toward freedom.  The story follows the paths of three people who are forced by circumstance to unite and trust in each other with each step toward safety.

Please join us at the Portage Zhang Senior Center at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 19, to meet the author, Ruta Sepetys. Attendees should please RSVP online at www.communiteenreadportage.com.
