We’re compiling another UPR Community Booklist and we want to know what you’re reading. 

Are you reading more or less nowadays? We also want to know what else you’re doing for entertainment during the coronavirus pandemic. What are you and your family up to while you’re social distancing? You can continue the conversation by emailing upraccess@gmail.com with what you're reading and how you're spending the time. UPR friend and avid reader Elaine Thatcher will join us for the hour, as well as Catherine Weller of Weller Book Works.
