One Book, One City: the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes January 12, 2012

The celebration begins in San Marino with the selection of The Sherlockian by Graham Moore as the One Book, One City title for 2012. The first event of the multi-month long program will be the screening of the movie, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce on Thursday, January 12th at 10:00 a.m. in the Library’s Barth Community Room. The master sleuth hunts his archenemy, Professor Moriarty, who is planning the crime of the century. (1939, 85 min.)

The concept of One Book, One City originated in Seattle back in 1998 as an entertaining strategy to build community – imagining a huge book group consisting of friends and neighbors, discussing plots and characters, while promoting literacy. Past selections for San Marino’s One Book, One City event have included Iron River by T. Jefferson Parker, Flower Confidential by Amy Stewart, Samurai’s Garden, by Gail Tsukiyama and last year’s The Ragtime Kid by Larry Karp.

More details on the One Book, One City programs will be announced in upcoming weeks, so readers are urged to check the Crowell Public Library website frequently:
