The 2018 One Book One Community (OBOC) celebration of Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly continues with various other events, programs, movie nights, book talks, crafts and more.
The OBOC launched in late February with a free, fun, family friendly Launch Party at the Main Library at Goodwood, 7711 Goodwood Blvd., which featured food, music, games, prizes, stargazing and even a Moon Walk. Special guest Alyssa Carson, a 16-year-old aspiring astronaut talked to the crowd about the wonders of outer space and encouraged youngsters to follow their dreams. Mayor Sharon Broome also was in attendance and addressed party goers with an inspiring message.
All the events are free. A schedule and related information, as well as an InfoGuide, is posted at www.ReadOneBook.org, and it will be updated with additional events periodically. Here are some upcoming related events:
