One Library, One Book
Our new selection is Three Cups of Tea, by Greg Mortenson and David Relin. In 1993 a mountaineer named Greg Mortenson drifted into an impoverished village in the Karakoram Mountains after a failed attempt to climb K2. Moved by the inhabitants' kindness, he promised to return and build a school. Copies of the book are available for checkout at the library. The first book discussion will be on Tuesday, August 26 at 7 PM. Other book discussions will be scheduled throughout the fall.
The Library intends to make this reading program as far-reaching as possible. In 2007, To Kill a Mockingbird was our first title selected, just as Chicago selected this title for One Book, One City. Our second selection is Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Relin.
We hope that many people throughout our communities will be reading and talking about Three Cups of Tea on their front porches and across neighborhoods. Programs will be planned to get people to come to the library, ask questions, seek to understand, and join the conversation. The goal of the program is to get as many residents of Park Forest and Olympia Fields to read Three Cups of Tea as possible.
