Fairfield To Announce One Book One Town Selection for 2025
Fairfield Public Library and its community partners will be announcing the One Book One Town selection for 2025 in the Periodicals Room at Main Library on Monday, January 13, at 11:00am. This event will be in person and released on the Library’s social media platforms simultaneously.
Copies of this year’s book selection will be available to borrow in print or digitally from Fairfield’s libraries or to purchase at the Fairfield University Store on Post Road. While the chosen book is geared to teens and adults, a complementary book selection will be available for middle-grade readers. The author will be appearing in person on Wednesday, March 5, at the Sacred Heart University Theater in downtown Fairfield.
The One Book One Town initiative was inspired by a program created by librarian and author Nancy Pearl of the Seattle Public Library’s Washington Center for the Book, who wondered what would happen if everyone in the city read the same book simultaneously. Fairfield’s own community reading initiative— named One Book One Town—began in 2008, and each year a committee of members from the community meets to select that year’s book. Co-chairs of this year’s FPL OBOT Committee are Philip Bahr, Head of Adult Services, and Jennifer Laseman, Head of Teen Services.
One Book One Town is made possible by the generous support of The Friends of Fairfield Public Library.
