Zuru Zuru - Malden Reads Community Dinner

Malden Reads is a community reading program that seeks to discover what could happen if all of Malden read the same book. Organized by community groups, city leaders, and residents, in collaboration with the Malden Public Library and Urban Media Arts (UMA), the program invites the community to read the same book and participate in a series of events related to the book’s themes. The goals of the program are to promote literacy, a love of reading, and an appreciation of city resources, but most of all, to build community in the city of Malden.
