SUMMARY: 2025 Kickoff Event
DESCRIPTION:Malden Reads is thrilled to announce the kickoff of our 2025 season! This year’s community read selection is The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba. Set in drought-stricken Malawi\, this inspiring true story follows a young boy who\, despite incredible obstacles\, used his ingenuity to bring electricity and water to his village. Through his determination and resourcefulness\, William Kamkwamba harnessed the power of wind energy to create life-changing solutions for his community. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are proud to partner with Bread of Life\, a vital food security organization that provides over 1.5 million pounds of free food annually to families\, individuals\, youth\, and seniors in the metro-Boston north area. \n\n\n\nAt this kickoff event\, local groups will showcase how they’re using resources to foster sustainability and innovation within our community. These efforts align with the themes of The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind\, including water conservation\, gardening for food security\, and teaching science to the next generation. The kickoff event will also include live music\, poetry\, a variety of refreshments\, and a short presentation.  \n\n\n\nMalden Reads invites you to join us in this shared reading journey and kickoff event\, reflecting on William Kamkwamba’s story and its relevance to our own lives. Together\, we’ll explore ways to bring positive change to Malden and beyond\, supporting both human and environmental well-being. \n\n\n\nLimited parking will be available as follows: 1) On-street parking; 2) Ferry Street parking lot along the bike path; 3) Sacred Hearts Church parking spots marked with a cross in Central Plaza lot at 219 Centre Street (others will be ticketed). \n\n\n\nWe look forward to involving the whole community in our 15th year anniversary program year. The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind is the title of all three editions of the Malden Reads selection for 2025: the adult edition\, the young readers edition\, as well as the picture book. Malden Reads events will discuss the themes of the books\, and readers may choose among the different editions. We consider the young readers edition to be an engaging and accessible read for all ages\, including adults.
