Two Cities, One Tale: Danville & San Ramon Joint CityRead 2010

A great concept – two cities enjoying a collective read.  Community members, neighbors, co-workers, friends – all discussing a book that is given away free at local libraries and participating businesses.  That’s the idea behind Two Cities, One Tale – Danville and San Ramon Joint CityRead 2010.  This book-sharing program offers free copies of a chosen book as part of a national campaign to encourage communities to read one book together.  Individuals can read the book, discuss it, and then pass it on to friends, family, co-workers and neighbors. This event is taking place from September 13 through October 18.

This year, you can learn more about the man behind the “Miracle on the Hudson,” with 2010′s CityRead selection, Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters.  Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters is Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger’s memoir.  Captain Sullenberger was the pilot of Flight 1549 with its emergency landing on the Hudson River in January, 2009. 

You can pick up your free paperback copy of Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters at the Danville or San Ramon Libraries or at participating local businesses.
