A message from Mayor Gavin Newsom
Welcome back once again to One City One Book: San Francisco Reads, presented by the San Francisco Public Library. I strongly support our citywide book club because it brings
together people of different ages, communities, and backgrounds to discuss the ideas raised by one book and to examine how these ideas connect with our daily lives.
I encourage everyone to pick up a copy of Cane River by Lalita Tademy so San Francisco can have great discussions, workshops and events this fall. You can find the book at your library or local bookstores.
I know that you will discover a terrific story and a fascinating slice of American history within the covers.
 A message from City Librarian Luis Herrera
As City Librarian, I invite you to join in One City One Book: San Francisco Reads, our popular citywide book club. One City One Book is intended to engage San Franciscans in conversation
and builds on the rich literary tradition of our city.
We are all curious about where we come from and what our family’s stories are. Lalita Tademy turned her curiosity and research into a fascinating novel about four women and the lives they lived on Cane River in Louisiana.
I think this book will raise important questions about America’s past and our own personal histories for all who read it.
We are honored to have Lalita participating in library, bookstore, and school events throughout the fall. The Library will also be featuring genealogy workshops, a movie series tie-in, and more.
Thank you for participating in One City One Book: San Francisco Reads. I hope you enjoy the experience.
