Journey through native wetlands and explore traditions surrounding seeds and planting at the 8th annual ArtLit 2026, a free community festival of art, culture and stories that connect us. The festival features performances, hands-on art activities, interactive literature workshops, food trucks, vendors, facepainting and more!

Join us as we Kick-off One Book One Broward on Saturday, January 10, 2026 from 10am-3pm at Southwest Regional Library on January 10th, 2026 from 10:00AM - 3:00PM.

Start the New Year READING with Broward County Libraries annual initiative One Book One Broward (OBOB). Join all who live, learn, work and play in Broward County from January 1 to February 28, 2026 to build deeper connections through a single book community read. This year’s theme Our Nature: How Our Physical Environment Can Lead Us to Seek Hope, Courage, and Connection will be guided by the matrilinear storytelling in the novel “The Seed Keeper” by Diane Wilson and the youth companion book “The First Blade of Sweetgrass” by Suzanne Greenlaw and Gabriel Frey. From Sawgrass to Seagrass, residents and visitors will participate in beach side, board walk, and trail head book discussions, presentations, programs, workshops and a festival kick-off at ArtLit on January 10. This initiative will provide human connection, cultural heritage preservation, and diverse perspectives that enable deeper understanding of our community while celebrating reading in South-Florida’s great outdoors.

One Book One Broward is supported by the Broward Public Library Foundation.
