One Book, One County is here!  A community reading program for Summer 2024 that celebrates collaboration, education, and conversation across our county and emphasizes the power of connected libraries to create connected communities.

​

That's 18 unique library systems and 204 unique libraries and communities!

Reading a single book, LA Weather by Maria Amparo Escandón.

 

What's so special about this?  Instead of one book for one library system, all 9.8 million County residents are invited to read one book together.  With programming from this amazing network of 18 library systems throughout the county.

 

The read -- by LA's largest book club -- concludes with an author talk and family festival on July 27th at Gloria Molina Park.  And we want YOU to be part of that. 

 

Help us close out One Book, One County with a special evening featuring a musical performance from Banda Las Angelinas, resources, activities, and a special author talk with María Amparo Escandón.
