Contemporary Book Discussion: One Book, One Chicago

The October book discussion picks up the 2026 One Book, One Chicago title, *Orbital* by Samantha Harvey, the Booker Prize–winning novel that follows six astronauts and cosmonauts over the course of a single day aboard a space station. The conversation happens Thursday evening, October 8, from 6:30 to 7:15 PM at Lincoln Park. A limited number of copies are available at the branch, so it’s worth checking ahead if you haven’t started reading yet. Sign language interpretation and other accessibility accommodations are available by request, made at least 14 business days in advance.
