2019-2020 Schedule

The One Book Billings program is sponsored by a grant from Bernard Rose through the Billings Public Library Foundation. This series is offered in memory of Marge McArthur, who had previously co-sponsored One Book Billings. Discussion groups come together five times a year (every other month from September to May) to discuss the same book. 

Books are provided to registered participants about four weeks before the scheduled session. The discussions are led by experienced discussion leaders and are held in locations around Billings, and one in Red Lodge, during a single week (Monday through Thursday).
About the Books
This year’s selections are a variety of types – two recent novels, a classic work of fiction and two non-fiction books. All the books are by Montana authors, or are about Montana. This should be an interesting and challenging series with a range of topics. Those of you who have taken part in the past will want to do so again and ask your friends to join in. Those who haven’t yet taken part will find a great reason to give this community-wide program a try.

Session Descriptions

There will be eight sessions for each book spread around the Billings community, and one in Red Lodge, during the week. The Library will bring authors or experts about the authors, to Billings (either in person or by Skype) for informal discussions about the book on the Saturday after the sessions.
