One City, One Story

 

One City One Story Welcome to One City One Story, a program encouraging all residents, preschool to seniors, to read books sharing a common theme, encouraging dialogue and fostering  a greater sense of community... one page at a time. 
 
 

  

 

The 2023 selection, for all ages, is the U.S. Constitution. This founding document of our nation has been discussed quite a bit in the news, with people of all political agendas citing and interpreting it to support their cause. But, how many of us have really read it? Have really given thought to the words that guide the laws and governance under which we live? Throughout the year the library has been hosting lectures and discussions to help us all become a better informed citizenry. Please check our monthly program calendar for the most up to date listing of events. Copies of the U.S. Constitution will be provided, free of charge, beginning in September (while supplies last). This program is generously funded by the Gale Gokey Brown Series on Civic Engagement.
