One City, One Book 

The Livonia Public Library, along with the Livonia Library Commission, invites you to join us in participating in the One City, One Book project! The 2023 focus will be on the importance of libraries, literacy and the Great Depression. Our hope is that this will open a dialog about the importance of literacy and how it can be used to combat bigotry and prejudice.

The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michele Richardson has been chosen as the 2023 book for the One City, One Book project.

Inspired by the true and historical blue-skinned people of Kentucky and the brave and dedicated Kentucky Pack Horse library service, The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek showcases a first in traditionally published literary novels— a bold and unique story and tale of fierce strength and one woman’s belief that books can carry us anywhere — even back home.

Visit our One City One Book page for more information and program schedule.

100 Books in 2023

Can you rise to the challenge and keep reading all year long? Register for the 100 Book Club and track your reading here: livonialibrary.beanstack.org.

Track the books you read all year long. For every 10 books you read, you’ll be given a raffle ticket towards our grand prize drawing. You will earn a ticket for every 10 books, up to 100 books read during the year. The more you read, the better your chances are to win! Prizes include gift cards to local Livonia businesses, and multiple winners will be chosen. Grand prize drawing will occur after January 1, 2024.

2023 registration is open to anyone ages 12 and up. You can join us at any point during the year, but only titles completed and logged before December 31 will count towards your total. All books are eligible! Log your hardcovers, paperbacks, audiobooks, large print, graphic novels, ebooks, library owned or personal copies (magazines and comic books do not count). Each title can only be counted once per year, but feel free to reread your favorites as often as you would like.

Don’t stop at 100, though! Keep logging all year long to see how many books you can read in just 365 days. Let’s get reading!
