One Book, One Tulsa

Each year, the Tulsa City-County Library hosts a systemwide initiative called "One Book, One Tulsa," during which Tulsa County residents are encouraged to read the same book. The purpose of this program is to foster literacy within our community and to encourage conversation about a meaningful book.

This year’s selection is by Mateo Askaripour, a recipient of the National Book Foundation's “5 Under 35” prize. This Great Hemisphere is a powerful, captivating novel about how far we'll go to protect the ones we love.

Join us on the first floor of Central Library for a discussion of Askaripour's book. Following his presentation, the author will answer questions from the audience and sign books. Books will be available for purchasing, courtesy of Fulton Street Books.
