Overview
What if everyone read the same book and joined readers in experiences to explore its themes? That’s the idea behind One Book, One Community of Monroe County, modeled after a program developed by the American Library Association to engage and enlighten, foster a sense of community and create a culture of reading.
This year’s featured book, The River, is the story of Wynn and Jack’s long-awaited canoe trip along the Maskwa River through the northern Canadian wilderness. Get a copy of the book at your local library or favorite bookseller.
As part of this month-long celebration of nature, TNC will offer two opportunities to connect (see below for details). Visit the OBOC’s event page to learn more about the festival and find additional opportunities.
