Are you ready for some football? Join us this spring in reading our 2025 One Book One Community selection, Season of Life: A Football Star, a Boy, a Journey to Manhood by Jeffrey Marx! Marx’s book recounts the unique approach that Joe Ehrmann, former defensive star for the Baltimore Colts, brought to coaching the Gilman High School team where he infused good, old-fashioned football with lessons of love, kindness, and service to others. The 19th annual One Book One Community initiative will highlight Marx’s book as well as many other sports-related programs for all ages throughout the Library system.

This six-week celebration of sports and youth mentorship will culminate in a special presentation by Jeffrey Marx at the Main Library at Goodwood on Sunday, April 27 at 3 p.m.  Marx, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author, will discuss topics such as mentorship, teamwork, and intergenerational communication.
           

Copies of Season of Life will be available for purchase, and Jeffrey Marx will hold a book signing to conclude the event.
