One Book, One Town Townsend Public Library Presents…THE HUNGER GAMES By Suzanne Collins

One Book, One Town is a program to bring members of the Town of Townsend together through the shared reading of the same book. The hope is that this shared reading experience will lead to informal conversations among strangers as well as participation in planned events . The One Book, One Town committee hopes to foster a sense of community through the program.

One Book, One Town is sponsored by The Townsend Public Library Endowment with support from The Trustees of the Townsend Public Library, The Friends of the Townsend Public Library and other community businesses and organizations.
