Since 2007, the Thousand Oaks Library’s Thousand Oaks Reads: One City One Book program has served as the community’s signature literary event. 

Last year, we took you to the not so distant reaches of our solar system, and traveled with the astronauts of Apollo 8 as they attempted to circle the moon and return. This year, our adventure is a little closer to home. 

Once again, we are very grateful to partner with the Friends of the Thousand Oaks Library and California Lutheran University to present a fantastic slate of programs beginning with our kickoff on February 29, 2020 at Grant R. Brimhall Library. The programs will continue through the months of March and April with a screening of the award-winning documentary The Biggest Little Farm, a tour of Cal Lutheran’s SEEd Project or Sustainable Edible Education program, concerts, book discussions, a photo contest, mental health resource fair, and programs for children. This will culminate with a visit with author Meredith May, on Sunday, April 26, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. in the Bank of America Performing Arts Center Kavli Theater.

When we open a book together, we close it in greater harmony.
