This year for 2024, the Cottage Grove All Community Read will feature award-winning author Carol Dunbar, who will be presenting and reading from her work on Thursday, Octover 24th, in the Cottage Grove School Library. This event is generously supported by The Friends of the Cottage Grove Library who have graciously purchased copies of A WINTER’S RIME. MORE INFO
