The goal is to promote reading, literacy, and libraries, by encouraging the entire greater Philadelphia area to come together through reading and discussing a single book. Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier is the 2016 featured book. The program will be supplemented by two adult companion books and one opera. The Civil War, by Geoffrey Ward with Ric Burns and Ken Burns, will provide historical context. Twelve Years a Slave, a memoir by Solomon Northup, will shed light on the horrific reality of slavery. Jennifer Higdon and Gene Scheer’s opera Cold Mountain, premiering in Philadelphia during One Book’s February kickoff, will offer a gorgeous musical expression inspired by Charles Frazier’s novel. The program runs through March 30.
