Everybody Reads 2010

What if everybody read the same book?

We'd talk to each other about issues that matter. Together we'd celebrate the power of books and create a stronger community. The eighth annual Everybody Reads project, presented in conjuction with Beyond Fact, will take place in January and February 2010. Each year, thousands of teens and adults take part in this project. The selection for 2010 is The Ghost Map: The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic — and How It Changed Science, Cities and the Modern World by Steven Johnson. Check back this fall for a list of programs and events.

Beyond Fact, a partnership between Multnomah County Library and the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, is a new initiative consisting of book discussions, lectures and a community reading project designed to inform, engage and enlighten participants on issues of current importance in the sciences. Beyond Fact is made possible through a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
