ONE BOOK, MANY NEIGHBORS
a collaboration of Leavenworth County+ libraries

Welcome to the 2026 One Book, Many Neighbors program series!
One Book, Many Neighbors is an annual series of programs hosted by libraries in and around Leavenworth County. Each year, a title is selected, and participating libraries host programs inspired by the book or related topics.
This year's selection is Dragon Teeth by Michael Crichton! A Western adventure novel set in 1876 during the "Bone Wars" of dinosaur fossil hunting in the American West, the story follows a Yale student who gets caught in the rivalry between real-life paleontologists Othniel Charles Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope.
Happy reading, and we hope to see you at your neighboring libraries for the events below!
