Dutchess County Executive Sue Serino is partnering with the Dutchess County Library Association to launch Sue’s Book Picks, a special new reading initiative featuring age-appropriate selections for children, teens, and adults. The program celebrates the joy of reading, encourages families to read together, and strengthens community connections through our local libraries.
Dutchess County Executive Sue Serino said, “There’s something so special about reading – whether it’s a bedtime story with your kids, a thought-provoking novel, or a book that simply makes you smile. Books have always brought me comfort, courage, and connection, and our libraries are the perfect place to pass that feeling along. With Sue’s Book Picks, I hope families and neighbors across Dutchess County will discover something new and enjoy the simple joy that comes from reading a good story.”
From February through May, four books will be highlighted each month – two for children, one for teens, and one for adults – as official Sue’s Book Picks. Selections will be featured in the 22 libraries across Dutchess County with a themed bookmark and flyer to help readers explore the picks and share in the experience.
