Loveland Loves to Read

Loveland Loves to Read is an annual One Book, One Community program. 

Each year, community members come together through the reading and discussion of a common book. In addition to book discussions, a variety of related events are scheduled.

The Friends provide various services and support to the independent Loveland Loves to Read committee as part of our interest in promoting literacy in our community. 

Loveland Loves to Read 2023

Shelby Van Pelt's Remarkably Bright Creatures was published in the spring of 2022. This luminous debut novel about a widow's unlikely friendship with a giant Pacific octopus reluctantly residing at the local aquarium and the truths she finally uncovers about her son's disappearance over 30 years ago has already garnered a lot of attention.

Charming, compulsively readable, and full of wit, Shelby Van Pelt’s novel is a beautiful exploration of friendship, reckoning, and hope – a reminder that sometimes taking a hard look at the past can help uncover a future that once felt impossible.
