Each year, Omaha Public Library (OPL) encourages the community to join together in reading one book as part of the Omaha Reads campaign. Omaha Reads promotes literacy and provides the City with a common theme to discuss. The selection is celebrated with book talks, author visits and related programs and events. This September, the gentility of the Gilded Age will cast a glow on our town as Omaha reads Edith Wharton’s “The Age of Innocence.”
