A popular literacy initiative in Habersham County is taking a new direction this spring, bringing in a nationally recognized author and former NFL player for a special community event.
One Book Habersham, a partnership between Habersham County Schools, the Northeast Georgia Regional Library System, Piedmont University’s education department, and Volunteers for Literacy of Habersham County, will host Malcolm Mitchell for a public book signing event on April 14 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Cornelia Community House.
A New Approach To A Community Tradition
Each year, One Book Habersham selects a children’s book to distribute across the county in February, followed by a visit from the author in April for school programs and a community event.
This year, organizers have partnered with Mitchell and his Share the Magic Foundation, expanding the program’s reach and impact.
Mitchell, a former University of Georgia standout and Super Bowl champion, has become widely known for his work promoting literacy through his foundation.
Event Details
The April 14 event will be a drop-in book signing open to the community.
Each ticket includes:
- Admission for two people
- A copy of Mitchell’s book, The Magician’s Hat, for signing
- One photo with Mitchell
Tickets are $10 plus a $1 convenience fee and can be purchased by scanning the QR code on event materials or by visiting GoFan and searching for the event.
A Message Rooted In Literacy
According to event organizers, Mitchell’s story reflects the mission of One Book Habersham.
Growing up, Mitchell faced challenges that made reading difficult, but through determination and support, he developed a love for books. Today, he shares that message with students across the country, emphasizing how literacy can open doors and create opportunities.
