    Each year, the Anaheim Public Library hosts Anaheim Reads, a month-long celebration of reading.

    This year, the chosen book is “There, There,” a debut novel by Cheyenne and Arapaho author Tommy Orange. The book is about a large cast of Native Americans and a month of activities are planned around the theme of exploring Native American culture and history.

    The opening reception for Anaheim Reads will be held at the Central Library from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Oct. 14. Virginia Carmelo, a leader from the Tongva-Gabrielino Tribe, will speak and there will be children’s activities, traditional dance performances and a Tongva language learning lesson.

    There will be a number of activities and workshops held at the various library branches throughout the month, including making fry bread, book discussions, cooking lessons and basket weaving.
