📖One Book, One Community (OBOC) 📖

OBOC Week 2026 truly was one for the books, and it wouldn’t have been possible without all of you!

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing committee members for your time, creativity, and behind-the-scenes dedication. Your efforts made everything come together seamlessly.

We are also deeply grateful to our generous sponsors for helping make this program possible. Your support continues to strengthen reading, learning, and connection throughout our community.

A very special thank you to author Holly Kennedy for joining us in person. Your visit was a highlight of the week and created such a meaningful opportunity for our community to connect with you and your work.

And to everyone who read the book, attended events, joined discussions, or supported in any way — thank you. This week was filled with thoughtful conversations, laughter, and shared stories because of you.

We can’t wait to see you all next year for OBOC 2027!
