About
“One Book, One Community”
“One Book, One Community” is a program designed to get everyone
in the community reading the same book and discussing topics
raised in the book. “The idea is that the city that opens
the same book closes it in greater harmony.” (Mary McGrory,
The Washington Post , March 17, 2002) The program began in
1998 by the Washington Center for the Book in Seattle, Washington.
Since then communities all over the nation have been joining
in with their own programs. The Park City Library read Jhumpa
Lahiri’s The Namesake in 2005, Jon Krakauer's Under the Banner
of Heaven in 2004 and Barbara Kingsolver's The Bean Trees
in 2003 for its first “One Book” program.
