 &nbsp\;&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>One Book\, One Community is an annual community-wid
 e reading event sponsored by Geneva Public Library and is dedicated to cre
 ating a shared conversation along through a range of related events and ac
 tivities for residents of all ages.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Reviews for <em>You Are
  Here</em>:&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>&ldquo\;This novel is a community and a tour de
  force account of small-town America. How do we survive ourselves and each
  other? How can we thrive instead of simply co-exist? Lin-Greenberg brings
  her imperfect yet perfect cast of characters to answer this very question
  and shows us a way. A magical book\, brimming with soul.&rdquo\;<br />&md
 ash\; Weike Wang\, author of&nbsp\;<em>Joan Is Okay</em></p>\n<p>&ldquo\;A
  boy\, a beauty\, an elderly gardener\, a failed PhD\, and an artist with 
 scissors: where else could all of these characters meet but at the mall? I
 n Karin Lin-Greenberg&rsquo\;s clear-eyed and heartfelt&nbsp\;<em>You Are 
 Here</em>\, the failing Greenways Mall makes community out of a group of c
 haracters so fractious and real\, you feel like you&rsquo\;re hanging out 
 with them at the food court.&rdquo\;<br />&mdash\; Alexandra Lange\, autho
 r of&nbsp\;<em>Meet Me by the Fountain: An Inside History of the Mall</em>
 </p>\n<p>&ldquo\;With great insight and care\, Lin-Greenberg chronicles th
 e daily lives of neighbors connected to a local mall that's soon closing. 
 You Are Here&nbsp\;shows that times keep changing\, but the American Dream
  persists.&rdquo\;<br />&mdash\; Sarah Langan\, acclaimed author of&nbsp\;
 <em>Good Neighbors</em></p>\nhttps://geneva.libnet.info/event/9647616
