We would also like to share that LHRT has kindly allocated a small, limited fund to expand participation in LHRT Reads. If you would like to participate but cannot access the books from a local library or afford to allocate resources towards their purchase, please email the LHRT Reads co-organizers. Thanks to former LHRT Chair Bernadette Lear for spearheading this idea and the LHRT Executive Committee for its support of this initiative.
