1037 SW Broadway Portland, OR 97205

$35–$85

Literary Arts is proud to present the culminating event of Multnomah County Library’s Everybody Reads program on March 12, 2026, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall.

Justice Jackson’s Lovely One: A Memoir is the 2026 pick for the library’s signature community reading project that promotes shared reading and discussion around a single book. Justice Jackson’s appearance will conclude months of engaging library programs and events surrounding the book and its themes such as identity, ambition, and resilience, highlighting the importance of mentorship and perseverance through professional and personal challenges.

The Library will distribute 8,000 free copies of Lovely One through libraries and high schools across Multnomah County beginning in January 2026, through the generosity of The Library Foundation. Discounted copies of Lovely One will be available from the Literary Arts Bookstore as well as other independent bookstores around Portland.
