Look forward to One Grand Read at CADL!
One Grand Read – Our Community in Conversation Starts with One Grand Read more about below from onegrandread.com
One Grand Read is a community reading initiative designed to bring people together through the power of a shared story. Our 2025 title selection is Better Living Through Birding, by acclaimed author, Marvel writer and editor, DC Comics author and birding advocate Christian Cooper.
Through October, One Grand Read will feature a series of free community programs inspired by the book’s themes, including events about birding and nature, and opportunities to create and connect to the community through conversation. The 2025 program will culminate in a special visit from Christian Cooper on Sept. 20, 2025, at 3 p.m. at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center on the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing, Mich., offering attendees the opportunity to hear directly from the author whose story has captivated readers nationwide.
Check out a physical or digital copy of Better Living Through Birding at any of CADL’s 13 branches, ELPL and participating local bookstores, including Hooked Bookstore and Cafe and Schuler Books.
