One Book, One Niagara

What is One Book, One Niagara?

One Book, One Niagara is a community-wide reading initiative that brings readers across the Niagara region together through the discovery of one remarkable book. Each year, a selected title sparks meaningful conversations, new perspectives, and connections through events, discussions, and shared experiences.

Everyone is welcome to participate — read the book, join the conversation, and become part of a region-wide community connected through stories.

About the Book

This year's selection is A Dark Forgetting by Kristen Ciccarelli.

When Emeline Lark’s grandfather vanishes, she journeys into a mysterious forest filled with fae magic, danger, and hidden secrets. To save him, she must make a bargain that will change everything.
