One City One Book
one city, one book 2022
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 2022 themes are mental health and mindfulness.
ANXIOUS PEOPLE
Anxious People by Fredrik Backman has been chosen as the 2022 book for the One City, One Book project.
Anxious People is a poignant comedy about a crime that never took place, a would-be bank robber who disappears into thin air, and eight extremely anxious strangers who find they have more in common than they ever imagined.
