We're celebrating celebrate reading by compiling a UPR Community Booklist. You can help by letting us know what books you recommend. We're joined by avid reader and UPR friend Elaine Thatcher and we hear from booksellers about the latest books being published. You can email us your book list right now to upraccess@gmail.com.
