One Book One Community to host events in January
The One Book One Community program is scheduled to have two events in January, according to an event flier. On Jan. 4, the Summit County Library is scheduled to screen the film “Sinking the Gustloff: A Tragedy Exiled from Memory” at 7 p.m. The documentary tells the real story that inspired the book being read for the program, “Salt to the Sea” by Ruta Sepetys. On Jan. 8 and 9, Sepetys will speak to Park City High School students before hosting a public event on Jan. 9 at 7 p.m. at the Jim Santy Auditorium in the Park City Library.
