What if all of Erie County read the same book at the same time and then came together to talk about it? This is the premise of One Book, One Erie. Erie participants have come together the past 4 years to read: We will be reading A Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold in 2008. Please join us in reading and talking with others about this environmental based book. Lee Steadman will be having art classes in conjunction with the book throughout the year.
