Get Reading With One Book, One Chicago!
Are you interested in reading the same book other Chicagoans are reading? Chicago Public Library presents just such an opportunity with One Book, One Chicago.
When the program began in 2001, two books were selected annually with programming related to the book. The program evolved in 2013 to focus on one book selection each year with related programming and to delve into the book’s central theme with additional programming.
The current selection is The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon. Talks, film screenings, and other programming focus on the book’s central theme: Heroes: Real & Imagined. Events are scheduled through April 2015.
Are you unable to attend an event? No problem! There are many other opportunities available online. Visit One Book, One Chicago to find discussion questions, further reading suggestions, and other fun activities. Wondering what books were read in past years? You'll find a list of previous selections and related discussion questions, further reading suggestions, and author biographies.
