Presented by the Lake Forest Library, this program encourages the Lake Forest community to read one book by a writer affiliated with Ragdale, the artists’ residency which has supported emerging and best-selling authors and their creative process for over 35 years. Based on the “One City, One Book” program, which takes place in over 70 communities nation-wide, its primary mission is to foster literacy, a culture of reading, and a sense of community.

Lake Forest is rich in history, and perhaps one of its greatest treasures is the Lake Forest Library. Graciously sprawled across a beautiful piece of property at 650 E. Deerpath Road near downtown Lake Forest, the front lawn is embellished with sculptures by artist Michael Croydon that were commissioned and donated to the library by the Deerpath Art League. The eight-paneled Art Deco mural that graces the interior library rotunda is evidence of the original history of giving by the Shedd sisters.
