Perth County Reads

Perth County Reads is excited to launch its 2025 season with celebrated author Dan Needles.

The Perth County Information Network (PCIN) is thrilled to announce the official launch of 2025’s Perth County Reads program, a community-wide reading initiative designed to inspire conversation, connection, and a shared love of literature across the county.

This year’s title is Finding Larkspur by acclaimed Canadian author Dan Needles. Best known for his beloved Wingfield Farm series, Dan’s storytelling captures the heart of rural Ontario life, making him the perfect voice to bring the community together through reading.

Now in its second year, the Perth County Reads program encourages residents of all ages to read the same book and participate in a variety of events and discussions throughout the 2025 season. The initiative is supported by libraries across Perth County and aims to foster a deeper sense of community through the power of shared stories.
