One Minneapolis One Read chooses book for second round

The City of Minneapolis, Hennepin County Library and Minneapolis Public Schools are launching the second round of "One Minneapolis One Read," in which students and adults are encouraged to read the same book and join in a community conversation.

This year's selection is Diane Wilson's "Spirit Car: Journey to a Dakota Past," a book of stories she wrote to honor her Dakota family, starting with the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862.

One Read week will culminate in a conversation with Garrison Keillor and Diane Wilson at 7 p.m., Monday, Sept. 24 at the Minneapolis Convention Center.
