One Maryland One Book Discussion: Relating to Each Other & Ourselves In-Person
You are invited to explore the 2021 One Maryland One Book selection, The Book of Delights by Ross Gay, through a series of themes!
These discussions will be led by KCPL staff and are open to all. Attend the whole program series or choose the topics that resonate with you.
If you don't have time to read the whole book, you are still welcome to join us. Since we won't have time to discuss all 102 essayettes in an hour, we've chosen three essayettes to create a starting point for each discussion. Discussion of other essayettes is welcome and encouraged, so please feel free to share your favorites, too!
