The goals are to:
- Promote reading across all age groups
- Promote the use of the Flint Memorial Library and the North Reading Public School Libraries
- Promote community discussion by sharing responses to one book
- Provide a new area of discussion for old and new friends
Where did it all start? Washington's Center for the Book
Are other towns participating in a similar program?
Yes. Here's
what they're reading.
Here is the
Massachusetts Center for the Book.
"It's a simple thing, this coming together
around books…Communities sharing a book can crack the isolation
of technology that allows people to do almost everything without
seeing another human being. The invitation to read gives a
person permission to clear space on the jammed schedule for
reconnecting with the joy of story hour.
What if the whole country read one book?
How about the world? Think about it."
