Second Year Kicks Off For
One Book, One Community
The Pickaway County District Public Library, Berger Health Foundation and
the Pickaway Addiction Action Coalition invite the public to take part in a
community-wide reading program
called One Book, One Community.
The book selected is “Dreamland” by
Sam Quinones, which discusses the
opiate epidemic in America, with a
special emphasis on Ohio.
The goal of One Book, One Community is to bring people together
through reading and discussion of a
common book. Last year’s programs
focused around “Being Mortal” by Atul Gawande, MD, and was very successful in raising awareness of palliative care.
The One Book, One Community program will run from January through
April. The community is encouraged to read the book from January through
February. Programs related to the book will begin in February and include
community lectures, workshops, book discussions and panel discussions.
Print and digital copies of the book are available through the Pickaway
County Library, including the Younkin Branch in Ashville and the Bookmobile. Berger Health Foundation donated 50 copies of “Dreamland” and has
scheduled the author to speak on April 27 at Circleville High School Auditorium. A full calendar of events can be found online at pickawaylib.org or
bergerfoundation.org or the FaceBook page One Book, One Community—
Pickaway County.
Thank you for donating food
items at the Pickaway County District Public Library in
the month of December.
More than 120 items were
collected and donated to
PICCA for distribution.
