ONE BOOK, ONE HOLLISTON
Our annual community reading program
One Book, One Holliston asks the question: "what if all of Holliston read the same book at the same time?"  It is a community-wide program to draw readers to important authors, books and themes and to help them share ideas and the love of reading.  One Book, One Holliston takes place each February with funding from the Friends of the Library and the TD Bank Affinity program.

THE 2020 SELECTION IS CONNIE HERTBERG MAYO'S THE ISLAND OF WORTHY BOYS, A NOVEL OF 1889 BOSTON SET ON THOMPSON'S ISLAND.  Learn more.  Books are available to read now in print and in electronic format. 

Connie will join us in person on Thursday, Feb 13 at 7 pm to tell us the story of Thompson's Island, the Boston Farm School and how she came to write this novel. 

The Morning Book Club will discuss the novel at their regular meeting on Mon, Feb 3 at 11 am.  All are welcome.
