Conceived b y then Executive Vice Chancellor Gene Lucas\, the program is led by the UC SB Library in collaboration with campus and community partners. Each year\ , a committee of UCSB faculty\, students\, staff\, and community members s elects a thought-provoking\, interdisciplinary book written by a living au thor that encourages a wide range of readers to engage with a contemporary social\, political\, cultural or scientific issue such as climate change\ , racial justice\, technology\, memory\, identity\, and democracy.\n\nThe program kicks off in winter with a book giveaway for UCSB students led by the Chancellor\, Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost\, and University Li brarian\, and culminates with a free public talk by the book’s author(s) at Campbell Hall in the spring. Throughout the winter and spring quarters \, the Library sponsors a variety of free learning\, experiential\, and so cial events to explore the book’s themes. The selected book is also inco rporated into the university curriculum for winter and spring\, allowing s tudents to explore its themes in an academic context. UCSB Reads is genero usly supported by many individuals\, university departments\, and organiza tions. \n\nThis exhibition highlights the history of UCSB Reads since its inception\, featuring promotional posters\, selected books\, custom bookma rks along with testimonials and images of participants engaging with progr amming throughout the years. UCSB Reads has become a beloved campus tradit ion that brings together thousands of people every year and demonstrates t he power of literature to bridge divides\, promote intellectual engagement \, and build community.
