All Iowa Reads has fostered a sense of unity through reading since 2003. Iowans are encouraged to come together in their communities to read and talk about a single book title in the same year. In 2017, Teen All Iowa Reads and Kids All Iowa Reads programs were launched to include younger Iowans in the program.
Hosted by Charity Nebbe, Talk of Iowa from Iowa Public Radio brings a mix of regular guests and a range of experts to the microphone to discuss what’s happening in Iowa and what makes this a special place to live. Find out more about Talk of Iowa.
