One Book Two Villages is a celebration of reading and community. For this year’s adult book selection, we have chosen The Illusion of Separateness, by Simon Van Booy. A poetic and graceful read, the story builds upon the discovery of astonishing connections between the characters that spans continents, a century, love and war. We hope that you will join us in exploring the themes of connection, kindness, and our individual impact on the lives of those around us. Continuing with these themes, we have chosen Mockingbird, by Kathryn Erskine, as this year’s youth book selection. The story begins after an event that forever changes a community, and the people within it. It is a story about healing, tolerance and forgiveness. The book offers a glimpse into the thought process of the main character, a 10-year-old girl on the autism spectrum. These books are impactful, with messages to ponder, discuss, and celebrate. We have a season’s worth of Library programs to build on these worthy themes and engage our entire community. Check out your copies of the books at the library, or use our e-book copies available online. I look forward to seeing you at one of our many One Book Two Villages events!
