A Novel Idea
Hosted by the Deschutes Public Library,
Oregon’s largest community read program with events in April
A Novel Idea returns this April with a month of dynamic, free programs and events connecting readers across Deschutes County. This year’s featured selections—Thomas Kohnstamm’s “Supersonic” and Mitali Perkins’s “Hope in the Valley” (youth edition)—spark conversations that leap off the page and into the community. There’s something for all ages with more than 40 free events, including creative workshops, book discussions, and author visits. Join us as we celebrate the 23rd year of A Novel Idea—building community one book at a time.
All programs, including the authors’ presentations, are free of charge thanks to the support of the Deschutes Public Library Foundation and generous donors. Tickets are free but required for Kohnstamm’s author event and are available at www.dplfoundation.org
