Omaha Reads 2016

Omaha Public Library celebrated its 12th annual Omaha Reads campaign with Anthony Doerr’s All The Light We Cannot See. The New York Times bestseller about a blind, French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France during World War II provided for a variety of discussion topics. Programs were offered to explore some themes addressed in the book including presentations by Brian York, Curator of Exhibits and Collections for Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum; Karen Bachmann, instructor at Pratt Institute and the Fashion Institute of Technology; and Joyce H. Winfield, author of Forever Heroes: A Collection of World War II Stories from Nebraska Veterans. All The Light We Cannot See was checked out more than 520 times during the month of September.
