Celebrate the power of books to create a stronger community by attending the 2023 Everybody Reads author event with Ruth Ozeki!

In partnership with Multnomah County Library and The Library Foundation, Literary Arts is proud to present a lecture by bestselling author Ruth Ozeki as the culminating event of Everybody Reads 2023. Everybody Reads is an annual community-wide project that promotes shared reading and discussion around a single book.  This year’s programming will center on Ozeki’s A Tale for the Time Being, a finalist for the Booker Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award. Copies of the book are available for free at all Multnomah County Library branches thanks to the generosity of The Library Foundation.
