Join us to discuss this year's community read The Newcomers! Free copies of the The Newcomers are available now at the library front desk. 

We are pleased to announce this year’s One Book, One Canyon author/book will be Helen Thorpe and The Newcomers.  She will give a talk for the community at the library on Tuesday, October 23rd at 6:00 pm. 

The Newcomers follows the lives of twenty-two immigrant teenagers throughout the course of the 2015-2016 school year as they land at South High School in Denver, Colorado. These newcomers, from fourteen to nineteen years old, come from nations convulsed by drought or famine or war. Many come directly from refugee camps, after experiencing dire forms of cataclysm. Some arrive alone, having left or lost every other member of their original family.

Thorpe lives in Denver.  She is an award-winning journalist and her work has been published in The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker and 5280 magazine.
