Save the Date for “An Evening with Sarah Bird” Thursday, February 11 at 7 p.m. at the Bee Cave Public Library, the 2010 Lake Travis Reads featured author and final event. Sarah Bird is a local author whose books offer bitingly-funny, insightful looks at Austin, friendship, romance, high society and more. Read more about the program in the LTR news release.

What if everyone read the same book at the same time?

Welcome to Lake Travis Area One Book One Community (OBOC) Web site.  OBOC is a community-wide reading program.  People from all walks of life are encouraged to read and discuss important issues raised by a common reading experience. A variety of community partners collaborate to bring the area interesting programming and events throughout the year that compliment the books selected. The point of One Book One Community is to provide readers with a shared reading experience that leads to open dialogue. Anyone can participate. Pick up the current book at your local library or bookstore and get reading!

A number of programs, discussion groups and events have accompanied the reading of the selections.
