A community reading event for Northwest Indiana

Interesting conversation • Special events • Family fun

For B2BR’s 13th year we will join Indiana Humanities’ initiative, 

One State / One Story: World of Wonders:

In Praise of Fireflies, Whale Sharks, and Other

Astonishments 

as our reading selection. We’ll have opportunities to come together to read, discuss and discover author Aimee Nezhukumatathil’s collection of 28 shortessays celebrating the natural world and all its wonders .


One State / One Story

One State / One Story: World of Wonders has been made possible

through a grant from Indiana Humanities in cooperation with

the National Endowment for the Humanities and is offered in 

partnership with the Indiana State Library and Indiana Center for the Book.
