Events at the American Writers Museum in conjunction with Chicago Public Library’s One Book, One Chicago initiative
The AWM is thrilled to announce we are partnering with Chicago Public Library for their annual One Book, One Chicago initiative. This year’s book is near and dear to our heart and our special exhibit Level Up: Writer’s & Gamers. Join us and the CPL this fall to celebrate Gabrielle Zevin’s bestselling novel Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow!
We are hosting a number of events in September and October that will highlight the novel, engage with Level Up, and inspire readers and writers of all ages to tell their stories. All of these events take place at the AWM and are free to attend.
Check out our lineup of One Book, One Chicago events below and register for free! You can find all of Chicago Public Library’s One Book, One Chicago events on their website here.
