We welcome your comments, questions, or suggestions!
One Book One Burlington (OBOB) is an annual program for adults, designed to promote reading and discussion of works of fiction by living Canadian authors. Everyone in Burlington and area can participate by reading the selected book, joining in a book group discussion, and attending our special programs. Now learn more about the selected novel, the author, and find interesting information about the author and main themes in the book. The following print and electronic resources have been assembled by library staff should you wish to delve further into the topics suggested by the book, Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures. Upon hearing that his book was selected as this year's One Book, Dr. Lam said, "It is a great honor for 'Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures' to be chosen as the 'One Book One Burlington' selection. I hope that this work can serve to share both my love of stories, and my love of the practice of medicine, with this community." This fall we have a full schedule of programs linked to the One Book. Please join us! Photos from the official unveiling in Civic Square on May 27 @11.30am

2009 OBOB Community Selection Committee
One Book One Burlington (OBOB) continues to grow in popularity and awareness. There has been increasing interest expressed by community members to participate on the selection committee so this year library staff issued a call for applications for new members.
We thank this year’s volunteer One Book One Burlington Community Selection Committee for their hard work and dedication. They diligently read every shortlisted novel and debated the merits of each as a suitable community read. You did a tremendous job!
