The Kootenay Library Federation will be hosting One Book One Kootenay 2013 in communities throughout the Columbia Basin except for Valemount Revelstoke and Golden from early April to October. This project is an annual reader's choice program that engages the public to select one book written by a Kootenay based author which people in the region should read. This event encourages residents to read and engage in discussion of themes of the selected title. CBT funds will be used towards the costs associated with this project.
