“One Book | One Minnesota is a 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.”

“Beginning on Monday, October 19th, Minnesotans will have free access to both the ebook and audiobook of Louise Erdrich’s The Plague of Doves through the ongoing One Book One Minnesota project.

The Plague of Doves is a Pulitzer Prize finalist written by Louise Erdrich in 2008 and the first in her “Justice Trilogy” of novels.

One Book | One Minnesota is presented by the Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library, acting as the Minnesota Center for the Book, in partnership with State Library Services, a division of the Minnesota Department of Education. One Book | One Minnesota launched this spring with Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo.

Ebooks Minnesota will make both the ebook and audiobook available from October 19th to December 13th. The Biblioboard platform from Bibliolabs continues to ensure barrier-free access to the ebook to everyone in Minnesota. A new partnership with Minnesota-based Mackin makes the audiobook available on the Mackin VIA platform.”
