Event Details

Join Byron Graves, author of this  year's Teen All Iowa Reads title, and Janeé Jackson-Doering, State Library of Iowa Youth Services consultant, as they chat about the 2025 selection, "Rez Ball". They will be joined by the Iowa Student Poet Ambassador, Daniel Umemezie.

Librarians, be sure to invite teens & families from your community and add the event to your summer reading calendar! Everyone is welcome at this special, free event. Reading the book in advance is encouraged, but not required. The event will NOT be recorded. 

The State Library is sponsoring these conversations to give all Iowans a chance to hear from each All Iowa Reads author about their books, creative process, and ask questions about the title.
