One Book, One County Program
This summer, join LA County Library, Los Angeles Public Library, and 16 other library systems for a community reading program of exceptional scope – one book for all of Los Angeles County. One Book, One County is a community reading program for Summer 2024 that celebrates collaboration, education, and conversation across our county and emphasizes the power of connected libraries to create connected communities. The 2024 selection for One Book, One County is L.A. Weather by María Amparo Escandón. Published in 2022, L.A. Weather is a New York Times bestseller that follows the Mexican-American Alvarado family during a year in Los Angeles “as they wrestle with impending evacuations, secrets, deception, and betrayal, and their toughest decision yet: whether to stick together or burn it all down”. Copies of the book are available to check out at the Pico Rivera Library and the Rivera Library while supplies last. Help close out One Book, One County with a special event on Saturday, July 27, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Gloria Molina Grand Park, 200 N Grand Avenue in the City of Los Angeles, featuring a musical performance from Banda Las Angelinas, resources, activities, and a special author talk with María Amparo Escandón.
