Williamsburg Regional Library and William & Mary Libraries partner for One Book One Community, an annual event that encourages our community to come together to have a shared reading experience.

This year's selection is author Ashley Bloom's book, Where I Can't Follow, which explores the forces that hold people in place, and how they adapt, survive, and struggle to love a place that doesn’t always love them back.
