One Book One County
One Book One County
One Book One County is a community read program for Wells County held in
September and October every year. The program is designed to create a
countywide discussion by encouraging all residents to read the same
book. There are also a number of special events at the library related to
themes found in the featured book. This year’s title is “The Adventures of Tom
Sawyer” by Mark Twain. We have so many different versions of the book that
you can check out, it'll be hard not to find one to enjoy! Or try a few different
ones to see which version is your favorite.

Audio
Drama
“Whether forming a pirate gang to search
for buried treasure or spending a quiet
time at home, sharing his medicine with
Aunt Polly’s cat, the irrepressible Tom
Sawyer evokes the world of boyhood in
nineteenth-century rural America. In this
classic story Mark Twain recreated a long
-ago world of freshly whitewashed fences
and Sunday school picnics into which
sordid characters and violent incidents
sometimes intruded.”
