One Book One Haldimand is an annual, community-wide program that invites readers across Haldimand County to read a selected Canadian title and then join the author and other community members for an evening of discussion.
2024 selection author visit
On Thursday, November 14th the Jarvis branch hosted Haldimand County's 2024 One Book One Haldimand author, Janet Hepburn.
During her visit, Mrs. Hepburn discussed her novel Flee, Fly, Flown, her inspirations for the characters, the research she did during the writing process and how she went about publishing her book with a traditional publisher. She also shared what did not make the final edit of her book, what she is working on now, and answered many questions from the audience.
The Haldimand County Public Library would like to thank everyone who read Flee, Fly, Flown, all those who attended the event, and Mrs. Hepburn for closing our 2024 One Book One Haldimand program on a wonderfully high note.
After such an engaging evening the Haldimand County Public Library is looking forward to sharing its 2025 One Book One Haldimand title in the new year.
Flee, Fly, Flown by Janet Hepburn
