In early Spring 2019 the selected book, and themes in the book, will be highlighted in a series of special events:  Films  •  Art Exhibits  •  Discussion Groups  •  Trivia Nights •  Guest Speakers  •  Happy Hours •  Music • Story Times •  and more.
These events will create a shared experience that will increase appreciation for our community libraries and for our local bookstores; foster pride in the varied experiences that our area offers; and the enrichment –– culturally, intellectually, and emotionally –– that comes from the joy of reading!
