Kick off this year's One Book, One Community by receiving your copy of "Hello Beautiful" by Ann Napolitano, register for programs and enjoy delicious treats. NR

Hello Beautiful, by Ann Napolitano, tells the story of the Padavano sisters and William Waters, exploring themes of love, family and loss. The novel follows their intertwined lives as they navigate relationships, ambitions and the impact of trauma and tragedy. A central conflict arises when William's past and mental health issues threaten the family's stability, leading to a rift and a test of their loyalty and forgiveness.   

Kick off this year's One Book, One Community (OBOC) event by picking up your copy of Hello Beautiful. You can also register for programs and enjoy delicious treats. Free copies of the book will be available while supplies last, and additional copies will be available for checkout. All books are generously provided by the Foundation for the Indian Trails Public Library District. Supplies for the OBOC Tiny Art Show will also be distributed. OBOC is a collaboration between Cook Memorial Library and Vernon Area Library.
