Enter for the chance to win a copy of Ali Smith’s latest book!

To celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month and the release of Public Library and Other Stories by Ali Smith, the Reading Group Center and Penguin Random House Library Marketing are teaming up to giveaway 25 copies of Ali Smith’s ode to reading.

Why are books so very powerful? What do the books we’ve read over our lives—our own personal libraries—make of us? What does the unraveling of our tradition of public libraries, so hard-won but now in jeopardy, say about us?

The stories in Ali Smith’s new collection are about what we do with books and what they do with us: how they travel with us; how they shock us, change us, challenge us, banish time while making us older, wiser and ageless all at once; how they remind us to pay attention to the world we make.

Woven between the stories are conversations with writers and readers reflecting on the essential role that libraries have played in their lives. At a time when public libraries around the world face threats of cuts and closures, this collection stands as a work of literary activism—and as a wonderful read from one of our finest authors.
