MANSFIELD READS "ONE CITY ONE BOOK"

It's Official! Acclaimed Bestselling Author Sandra Brown is coming to Mansfield!
Go Down Together

The Friends of the Mansfield Public Library are proud to announce that the selection for the ninth annual Mansfield Reads! One City, One Book program is "Rainwater" by #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown.

"Rainwater" is a departure from Brown's usual thriller genre. It is set in the depression era in a small Texas community and is based on a story told to her by her father about her grandfather. Watch Sandra Brown talk about "Rainwater" in an interview here http://bit.ly/fd30yl. Books will soon be available, both for sale and for checkout, in the library.

March will be Mansfield Reads! month this year. We will kick off the month with our Evening with the Author event on March 2nd. Other programs and activities will follow during the month. Reservations will be required for the Evening with the Author. The Friends of the Library website www.friendsofmansfieldlibrary.org will have more information about when reservations will be available in the coming weeks.

Watch for more Mansfield Reads! news soon! Let's all read a good book!
