Selection Process
A new common read title is selected every two years in support of the Diversity Council's common theme. At the conclusion of the first year of a common read, the Cardinal Reads committee solicits book suggestions from the NIC community that align with the common theme purpose and outcomes. The committee then reviews and scores each title using a rubric. Review copies of the four highest-scoring titles are secured from the publishers (if available) and read by the committee. The committee then repeats the scoring process using a second rubric and the highest-scored title is selected as the next common read.
