The 2009 One Read book is
“The Air We Breathe” by Andrea Barrett
In the fall of 1916, America prepares for war, but time moves slowly for the tubercular patients, scientists and caregivers at Tamarack Lake sanitarium, an isolated community in the Adirondacks. A discussion group started by a well-meaning patient provides a weekly diversion, but also sets the stage for dramatic events that bring the war home. Andrea Barrett is a National Book Award winner for "Ship Fever" and a Pulitzer Prize finalist for "Servants of the Map."
Read or listen to this year's book this summer and get ready for a September full of book talks, lectures, music radio shows and programs.
Once again this year, we will be hosting a show of artwork by community members. Artists may begin submitting work now for the One Read Express Yourself Art Show. Submissions should be inspired this year’s book, “The Air We Breathe.”
Visit any Daniel Boone Regional Library location to check out a copy of “The Air We Breathe.” The book is available in hardback, paperback, large print, CD, and book discussion kit.
