Shelby Van Pelt, author of Remarkably Bright Creatures, is coming to Thomasville, GA! The Bookshelf has joined the Thomas County Library to celebrate their One Book Thomas County program. For 10 years, the Thomas County Library has hosted South Georgia’s first (and only!) One Book program, where our entire community reads the same book together and celebrates that book with literary events.
The 2024 One Book Thomas County pick is Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt. Our celebration of this beloved book will culminate in a visit from Shelby Van Pelt at the Thomasville Center for the Arts on Thursday, October 3. Tickets are just $10 and can be found in-store at The Bookshelf or online at onebookthomascounty.org.
