How to Participate

Get the Book
Pick up a copy of the book at your local public library or bookstore and start up a conversation with your family, friends, co-workers, or even the person sitting next to you as you ride the bus or train. This is your chance to take a moment and have a meaningful conversation with an old friend or make a new one.

Join In!
We invite you to join Honorary Chair, Maryland's First Lady Katie O'Malley, and thousands of other Marylanders at one of the many book discussions and related programs happening around the state in September and October.
