One Book, One Coast Book Club
One Book, One Coast brings together library systems across California, Washington State, and Oregon for a shared community reading program that celebrates literacy, learning, community, and civil discourse. All participating libraries will read and discuss They Called Us Enemy by George Takei with physical copies of the book available to borrow as early as March 1 and unlimited digital copies of the eBook in English and Spanish available from April 1 through June 6 on the Libby app by Overdrive.
We will close this year’s reading program with a special author talk featuring George Takei. The event will be held in person at East Los Angeles Library and will also be livestreamed on YouTube. (Link will be active on the May 31.)
