Wheeling Reads

Wheeling Reads, One Book, One Community“Wheeling Reads: One Book, One Community” is designed to bring our city closer together through the shared experience of reading and discussing the same book.

“Wheeling Reads: One Book, One Community” is presented by the Wheeling Arts & Cultural Commission in partnership with the Ohio County Public Library. 

Wheeling Reads - 2020 Selection

After opening a vote to the public, the Wheeling community chose the book "Educated," by Tara Westover (2018, Random House), for the inaugural 2020 Wheeling Reads book. "Educated" is an unforgettable memoir about a young girl who, kept out of school, leaves her survivalist family and goes on to earn a PhD from Cambridge University. Tara Westover is living proof that some people are flat-out, boots-always-laced-up indomitable. "Educated," is a heartbreaking, heartwarming, best-in-years memoir about striding beyond the limitations of birth and environment into a better life.

Educated: A Memoir, by Tara Westover, 2018, Random House Publishing
