Eau Claire County Reads is a county-wide reading program encouraging literacy and community engagement. The selected title is A Man Called Ove, by Fredrik Backman, a comical and heart-warming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul.
- Copies of the selected book are available to check out in a variety of formats at your local library, sponsored in part by the Aging and Disability Resource Center.
- Each participating library will host one or more programs related to the issues presented in A Man Called Ove.
