The Margin Project Have you ever wanted to talk back to a book? Ask the author or the main character what they were thinking? Or just wanted to be able to sit down and talk about the book you are reading with someone else who’s also read it? The Margin Project is your opportunity. Margin Project books are a special collection of titles in Youth Services that are intended to be interactive–readers are allowed to write in the margin (query, annotate, comment, or even doodle) and react to what previous readers have written. The Margin Project is like a book club crossed with social media or pen pals crossed with a book exchange. Learn more in the Youth Services Department, or contact Beth Klein, bklein@phpl.info.
