It’s time for One Island One Book 2014


Our fifth annual “let’s all read the same book” event.
This year Key West reads Killing Mister Watson by Peter Matthiessen
Drawn from fragments of historical fact, Matthiessen's masterpiece brilliantly depicts the fortunes and misfortunes of Edgar J. Watson, a real-life entrepreneur and outlaw who appeared in the lawless Florida Everglades around the turn of the century.

The events so far:
Friday February 7th at 3:30 p.m.:  Everglades:  Explore Beyond the Tourist Hotspots documentary (50 min.)
Wednesday February 12th at 5 p.m.:  Book Bites Book Club will discuss Killing Mister Watson
Thursday February 27th The CafĂ© con Libros program features Monroe County Historian Tom Hambright discussing the history behind Matthiessen’s novel. The program starts at 9:30 with a social hour (and coffee, tea and treats). The program starts at 10 a.m.
Events take place at the Key West Public Library 700 Fleming Street unless otherwise noted.
More events are on the way!
