Hey Minnesota, let’s read together!

“One Book | One Minnesota is a new statewide book club that invites Minnesotans of all ages to read a common title and come together virtually to enjoy, reflect, and discuss.

Libraries are essential for connection, and through One Book | One Minnesota, libraries across the state will connect their communities through stories. The program aims to bring Minnesotans closer together during this time of distance and adversity.”

One Book | One Minnesota

“You and your library are cordially invited to participate in One Book | One Minnesota, starting Wednesday, April 15, through online book club discussions or other activities that resonate with your community.

The title selected for the first session (plans are underway to continue the book club this summer with additional authors/titles) is Kate DiCamillo’s Because of Winn-Dixie.

The Minnesota Center for the Book has created a One Book | One Minnesota website where you can download materials to help with running a virtual book club. Included are discussion guides and logos. You can also view a welcome and introduction from Ms. DiCamillo herself at the website.

In a special agreement with the publisher, the book is also available for the next eight weeks on Ebooks Minnesota at no charge and with no limits on simultaneous check outs. No library card is required.”
