This summer, join a community reading program of exceptional scope – one book for all of Los Angeles County. One Book, One County is a community reading program for Summer 2024 that celebrates collaboration, education, and conversation across our county and emphasizes the power of connected libraries to create connected communities. This program is unique because instead of one book for one library system, all 9.8 million County residents are invited to read one book together, with supportive programming provided by a network of partnered Los Angeles County library jurisdictions.

The 2024 selection for One Book, One County is L.A. Weather by María Amparo Escandón. This book was selected through a review and voting process that was open to all participating libraries. Published in 2022, L.A. Weather is a New York Times bestseller that follows the Mexican-American Alvarado family during a year in Los Angeles “as they wrestle with impending evacuations, secrets, deception, and betrayal, and their toughest decision yet: whether to stick together or burn it all down.”

This event is open to adults to discuss "L.A. Weather." A limited amount of titles are available for attendees at the library.
