The kick off to Door County Reads is still a few weeks away, but avid readers across the area already have a head start. Door County Library had to order additional copies of this year’s selections by authors Dan Egan and Peter Geye almost immediately after announcing the titles in December.  Door County Library Director Tina Kakuske credits the ongoing Celebrate Water initiative, the upcoming author visits on February 9th and 10th, and the time of the year for the program’s popularity.

Kakuske says interested participants can put their names on waiting lists to get their hands on a free copy or find additional ways to get a digital or print edition. Birch Creek Music Performance Center will be the site of this year’s Door County Reads Kick-Off Celebration on February 3rd beginning at noon.
