Hello all,

final stop of this year's One Maryland One Book tour featuring Daniel James
Brown, author of the New York Times best seller The Boys in the Boat: Nine
Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 

1936 Berlin Olympics. Mr. Brown will speak, answer questions, and sign books
at a free event at the National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute
in Baltimore.

Mr. Brown's book, available for order by MLBPH patrons using the book number
DB77138, is the dramatic true story of the American rowing team that stunned
the world at Hitler's 1936 Berlin Olympics. Daniel James Brown shares the
improbable journey of nine working-class American boys who embodied
determination and optimism. The team's friendship, shared adversity, and
trust in each other helped them become the legendary team that defeated
elite rivals, including the German crew rowing for Adolf Hitler.

One Maryland One Book (OMOB), a program of the Maryland Center for the Book
at the Maryland Humanities Council, brings diverse groups of Marylanders
together in libraries, schools, and communities across the state to share a
common reading experience through book discussions and companion programming
each September and October. To find discussions and other OMOB programming
near you,
