Fairfield Library to Make One Book One Town Announcement Jan. 8

Fairfield, CT - Fairfield Public Library will make its One Book One Town announcement on January 8.

After taking a one-year hiatus, the Fairfield Public Library and its community partners — Pequot Library, Fairfield University and the Fairfield University Bookstore — are happy to announce the selection of One Book One Town for 2019, the eleventh time Fairfield has had a town wide read. The big reveal will take place on Tuesday, January 8, 2019 at 10:00 am at the Fairfield University Bookstore.

Details of the book, the author, book discussions and related events will be released then. All are invited to attend.

The generous sponsorship of the Friends of the Fairfield Public Library has made One Book One Town possible each year. This year they are joined by another community partner, the Junior Women’s Club (JWC) of Fairfield. The JWC selected The Friends as their charitable partner for the 2018-2019 year. Money raised throughout the year by the JWC, funded primarily through the annual “A Visit to Santa’s House”, will be used by The Friends to support One Book One Town in 2019.



We hope you will be able to join us for this exciting announcement as we look forward to reading together as a town once again.
