Join us Tuesday, March 10 at 10am, as we celebrate the release of the OBTV 2015 book, Dead Wake by Erik Larson! Check out a copy of the book, enjoy refreshments, and visit with our librarians to learn about the book, the author, and the latest news on our upcoming One Book Two Villages events.
One Book Two Villages (OBTV) is a celebration of reading and community. The Winnetka-Northfield Public Library District is excited to continue the tradition of excellence with this year’s title selections.
We are so excited to bring to our community an author and story that will captivate imaginations and give us a brief glimpse into what has been a long obscured part of history.
The 2015 adult book selection is Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania, by Erik Larson, the #1 New York Times bestselling author and master of narrative nonfiction. Larson has the gift of being both a talented writer and historian, weaving the two together with drama, emotion and suspense. His bestselling books include The Devil in the White City and In the Garden of Beasts.
Our 2015 youth book selection is Found (The Missing series, book one) by Margaret Peterson Haddix. This selection is a suspenseful book that touches on conspiracies, time travel and mysterious communication from the future. The whole family will be talking about this great read. We have both print and eBook versions of Found for checkout now! Find OBTV youth programs on page 11.
Please join us on Tuesday, March 10th at 10am, at our One Book Two Villages Launch Party, and pick up Dead Wake on its release date. An Evening with Erik Larson will be hosted by the Library on Thursday, September 24. Subscribe to our email newsletter to get OBTV news and updates delivered to you as soon as they are announced.
