Hickory Public Library and My Chapter House are teaming up to present Hickory Reads, a city-wide one book, one community initiative that’s about to ignite conversations, spark connections, and bring us together like never before. Imagine thousands of neighbors, students, families, and friends all diving into the same powerful story—sharing ideas, perspectives, and a love for reading that transcends age, background, and experience. Whether you're a lifelong bookworm or just rediscovering the joy of a good read, Hickory Reads is your invitation to be part of something meaningful, unifying, and unforgettable. Let’s turn the page together, Hickory—because when a whole city reads as one, the story becomes legendary.
