Participants at least 55 years of age meet to discuss this year's One Maryland One Book selection, “Kin: Rooted in Hope”, by Carole Boston Weatherford with art by Jeffery Boston Weatherford. Free copies of the 2025 OMOB selection will be available at all HCPL locations this summer, while supplies last. Please call your favorite branch to check on book availability. One Maryland One Book is a program of Maryland Humanities. This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Maryland State Library.
