It's official! The Collected Regrets of Clover by Mikki Brammer has been selected by the Arlington Heights Memorial Library as its 2024 book for its annual community read, One Book, One Village (OBOV). The title was revealed on Friday evening, August 23 during a kickoff party in the library's Hendrickson Room.
Programs and Exhibits manager Jennifer Czjaka welcomed attendees by saying, "We can't have a community read without readers so thank you for joining us!" With a nod to OBOV celebrating its 11th anniversary, Czjaka shared an entertaining look back at the ten books previously chosen by the library since launching its community read initiative in 2014.
Then came the moment attendees had waited for -- the reveal of this year's title, The Collected Regrets of Clover. Author Mikki Brammer surprised the crowd with a special video greeting and gave a sneak preview of the book. View video here.
