The Centre County Reads committee has made its selection for Centre County Reads 2020 and it's Alice McDermott's National Book of the Year award-winner Charming Billy!

We chat with three members of the Centre County Reads committee — Schlow's head of adult services Maria Burchill, retired teacher Ellen Coffman, and associate professor of English at Penn State and director of the Center for American Literary Studies Sean Goudie — to find out about the selection process and preview next year's Centre County Reads events.
