One Book One Frankfort

One Book One Frankfort is a community reading project that encourages adults in the Frankfort and Franklin County area to read and discuss the same book. The 2025 selection is Circe by Madeline Miller.

Due to the historic flooding in April, many of our One Book One Frankfort events were cancelled. We are thankful to be able to offer these events on rescheduled dates this summer.

Adults, please register for events unless otherwise specified. All events are free to the public and will take place at the Paul Sawyier Public Library. For more information, contact Megan Pickett at (502) 352-2665 x108 or megan.pickett@pspl.org.
