      The Sierra Madre Public Library has announced their 2023 selection for One Book One City; Flying Free by Cecilia Aragon.

      By News Desk

      One Book One City is a community reading program that invites everyone in Sierra Madre to read and discuss the same book during February 2023 and participate in exciting programs and events.

      Aragon’s memoir, Flying Free, shares her journey of breaking past her own fears to become a champion aerobatic pilot. Her 2019 book, Writers in the Secret Garden, takes a close look at the fascinating world of fanfiction to explore how young people express themselves. Her latest book, Human-Centered Data Science, discusses best practices for addressing the bias and inequality that may result from the automated analysis of large datasets.

      Check back with the Sierra Madre Public Library for announcements on upcoming programming and events for their 2023 One Book One City selection: Flying Free: My Victory Over Fear to Become the First Latina Pilot on the US Aerobatic Team by Cecilia Aragon.
