It's another busy month as we hit the height of snowbird season. There are
more than 70 performances, concerts, exhibits and more happening in the
region. Here’s a look at what is new and continuing.

One Book One Community

“An Immense World” by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ed Yong was chosen
as the 2024 One Book One Community selection for Sarasota County. The
author will talk about the book that explores how all animals, including
humans, are in their own bubbles and cut off from the rest of the world. He
will speak at 10:30 a.m. March 1 at Suncoast Technical College Conference
Center, 4445 Career Lane, North Port, and at 7 p.m. March 1 at Selby
Library, 1331 First St., Sarasota. Free. sarasotacountylibraries.org/my-
