All—Sharon is right. We began the Great Reads lists for the second NBF, in 2002, so 2021 was the 20th time we did so.
Here are the lists of all previous titles:

Subject: Re: Great Reads from Great Places 20th Anniversary?
Last year 2021 was the 20th year. Pretty sure we mentioned that as we were planning the first year of videos. I know we used that info in our press releases

Hi,
Someone may very well have mentioned this before, but I personally just realized that this is the 20th Anniversary of the Great Reads from Great Places. Right? Did the initiative start in 2002? I didn't see anything earlier than that year at https://read.gov/greatreads/downloads.html
If so, this really is the perfect year to begin to include adult selections.
Wishing everyone a good Memorial Day Weekend.
