East Baton Rouge Parish Library’s 17th annual One Book One Community initiative will highlight Chris
Thomas King’s book, The Blues: The Authentic Narrative of My Music and Culture. as well as many
other blues-inspired programs for all ages throughout the Library system. We will explore such topics as
blues music; Baton Rouge and Louisiana’s music culture/history; songwriting and poetry; black history;
and the lives of music legends.
To kick off six weeks of programs, book discussions, and other opportunities for community connection,
we’ll have a FREE Kickoff Party at the Main Library at Goodwood on Sunday, March 19, 4-6 p.m.!
Attendees will enjoy live music from The Michael Foster Project, a special appearance by author Chris
Thomas King, delicious local food, crafts, games, and engagement with community organizations. It will
be an outdoor celebration for all ages on the Plaza!
** In the case of inclement weather, it will be held inside the Library.
