NORTHCOAST NEIGHBORS SHARE A BOOK 2022 FOCUSES ON LOCAL AUTHOR

North Coast Neighbors Share a Book 2022 will focus on Cleveland native Antwone Fisher’s memoir Finding Fish. The “one book” reading initiative will kickoff on February 2 with a series of programs featuring Fisher, who will be back “home” supporting North Coast Neighbors Share a Book through February 4. The program will run throughout the month of February.

North Coast Neighbors Share a Book is a northeast Ohio library initiative that promotes the reading and discussion of one book throughout the area. Over 30 libraries from Sandusky to Painesville are participating in the 2022 event. This will be the third year for the annual “one book” reading program, which is administered by the Cleveland Area Metropolitan Library System (CAMLS). CAMLS is a regional library consortium.

Finding Fish details Fisher’s childhood as an orphan in inner city Cleveland, and his rise from the hopelessness of his situation to the success he is today, thanks in part to a stint in the US Navy.

Local libraries are planning a variety of programs and events throughout the area. Check the North Coast Neighbors Share a Book Web site (camls.org/shareabook.html) or your local library for more information.

North Coast Neighbors Share a Book 2022 is sponsored by The State Library of Ohio, Joseph-Beth Booksellers, and the Cleveland Call and Post.

North Coast Neighbors Share a Book is coordinated by the Cleveland Area Metropolitan Library System
