One Book Billings & The Big Read
One Book Billings
One Book Billings is a book reading and discussion program. Groups throughout the community will read the same book and participate in facilitated discussions about that title. The Friends of the Library sponsor this series by purchasing the reading copies.
The most recent book for One Book Billings is Road Map to Holland by Jennifer Graf Groneberg.
Participants to the discussion groups may sign up for a discussion session and pick up their free copy of the book at the second floor Reference Desk, courtesy of the Friends of the Library.
Sign up for ONE of our discussions by calling the Library at 657-8258 or stop by the 2nd floor Reference Desk.

The Big Read
 The Writer's Voice of the Billings YMCA and Billings Public Library have received funding several times for The Big Read, a program of the National Endowment for the Arts, designed to restore reading to the center of American culture. The Big Read brings together partners across the country to encourage reading for pleasure and enlightenment.
The Big Read provides citizens with the opportunity to read and discuss a single book within their communities. It includes innovative reading programs in selected cities and towns, comprehensive resources for discussing classic literature and an extensive Web site providing comprehensive information on authors and their works.
