6 Books. 6 Libraries. 1 Winner.

Six libraries are bringing their communities together with the 5th annual Simcoe Reads, a cover to cover competition for adults.

Each library has selected a local Champion and book they believe everyone in Simcoe County should read! Join the participating libraries: Barrie, Essa, Innisfil, Midland, New Tecumseth, and Ramara for a summer of reading.

Join us for the Simcoe Reads final event!

Join us on Thursday, October 24th at 6:30pm at the Udney Community Center in Ramara to cheer on your Champion and vote for the book that you think everyone in Simcoe County should read.


6 books, each chosen for their impact, timeliness, or narrative power. Read them all!

Explore the talks and events focused on the books chosen by our Champions. Follow your local libraries’ social media for more.
