We're very proud to announce that the One Book, One Community selection for this spring is Population 485 by Michael Perry. Small town life viewed through the lens of an EMT re-entering his community after being gone for 12 years. Raucous, tragic, humorous, touching and insightful - these accounts are written with a careful ear for language and a finger on the pulse of the relationships that make and sustain communities. There will be discussions across the city in the months ahead and a discussion guide available in March. On May 1st, Michael Perry is scheduled to be in town giving talks, and culminating in a reading at Lake Superior College. We'll be looking forward to his newest book, Coop at the same time. See the Duluth Public Library, Northern Lights Books and this blog for updates.

Thank you, Anita and Northern Lights for stepping up and managing the One Book, One Community program. The Duluth Public Library is stretched so thin right now. They would love to run it again themselves, but it's help from the community like this that will maintain the quality of life here in Duluth through these hard times.
That's a great choice! I liked the book, and I'm sure it will speak to a wide range of readers.
Thanks also for the tip about Perry's new title. I wasn't aware of it.
