Then please join us for our One Book Sneak Peak Reception on Tuesday, December 11, 5:30-6:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be served and you'll have the opportunity to mix and mingle with other readers and literacy advocates from Richland County. We will also have book club sets ready to check out. For those who are checking off their holiday gift lists, the book will be sold as well.
