Description
Now in its fourth year, One City, One Book: Walnut Creek Reads creates a "citywide book club" by encouraging commuinty members to read the same book at the same time and then participate in a series of community-wide events that celebrate the book. Book selections are typically announced in the May-June timeframe and the community events are planned in the fall giving the community the summer months to read and enjoy the book.
