One County One Book
The Ventura County Library and Ventura County Library Foundation are beginning planning for One County One Book for 2023. One County, One Book unites the members of the Ventura County community in order to spread interest and facilitate discussion about selected books. The selected title for 2023 is Solito by Javier Zamora. This year, the author talk will take place earlier than in past years, on Saturday, September 30, 2023. The main author event, VIP Reception with the author, and booths featuring vendors, non-profits, local authors and children’s story time will take place on the campus of CSU Channel Islands.
Are you a local author, vendor, or non-profit who would like to participate?
