Suggest a Book for One Read 2010
What one book should our community read next?
The Daniel Boone Regional Library would like suggestions from the public for what one book the community should read for next year. The One Read reading panel is looking for books the community will enjoy reading and discussing, that have a broad-based appeal to readers of different backgrounds and reading levels, and that address themes, issues and topics that will encourage and sustain spirited discussion.
Thank you for your suggestion!

In the fall of 1916, America prepares for war, but time moves slowly for the tuberculosis 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.”

I continue to be amazed by all you have organized around “The Air We Breathe.” Never, anywhere, have I seen people pull so many strands of the community together over a single book, nor investigate so many areas. I think what you’re doing is quite remarkable, and I’m humbled to have been a part of it.
