Ihonor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, March has been designated as Reading Month. To celebrate and encourage reading, we are asking local officials, residents and WKTV staff and volunteers to tell us about a book that they enjoy. Happy Reading!

Today’s book selection comes from Randy Goble, Kent District Library’s Director of Engagement.

Book: Nina Simone’s Gum: A Memoir of Things Lost and Found
Author Warren Ellis
Genre: Biography

“Nina Simone’s Gum” is exactly that. If you’re into music, Nina Simone or chewing gum, I recommend that you read this book by Warren Ellis. It starts with well-chewed gum that she placed on the piano at a performance then takes you around the world and through decades of fascinating stories and insights that are all somehow connected by the gum. – Randy Goble, Director of Engagement for Kent District Library.
