This function was Initiated by William H.O. Scott of Wilson Library in Fall of 1962. The working idea of the current BOQ group is to select a 'theme' from which to select books for the year. Then, each book selected will offer a different perspective or representation of that theme.
Core members of the BOQ:

Once upon a time Paul was a librarian, writer and father of a very active teenager. He was born in Chicago in 1951, lived in Montana, Hawaii and has lived in Bellingham for 4 years. He also walks in the dark and once bumped into Miguel. They had a dark beer together and ate dark chocolate. Then Paul turned on a light, and Miguel disappeared. He hasn't seen Miguel since, but was relieved to see he lives on this web page.
