Read the book all of Arlington Heights is talking about - Clark and Division by Naomi Hirahara. One Book, One Village (OBOV), now in its ninth year, invites the community to read the same book at the same time and share in the experience through related programs and book discussions.
Copies of Clark and Division are now available for checkout at the library, at the Senior Center, on the bookmobile or online on cloudLibrary. Holds can be picked up on the bookmobile, at the drive-up window or inside the library on the hold shelves. Young readers are invited to participate by checking out the following books to learn more about Japanese American history: Fish for Jimmy: Inspired by One Family's Experience in a Japanese American Internment Camp (kids), Dash (tweens) and We Are Not Free (teens).
For the first time since 2019, OBOV 2022 will culminate with an in-person visit by the author on Thursday, October 27. Naomi will be joined in conversation with historian Erik Matsunaga.
