"One Book" Roundup

One Book One City (or community, or university, or conference, or the like) programs have spread rapidly since librarian Nancy Pearl created the first one in Seattle in 1998. One Book programs encourage members of a community to all read the same book at the same time, and then come together to discuss it. Taking part is a great way to connect with your community--and it all happens at your library.

Via Booklist's Book Group Buzz blog comes this roundup of some of the One Book programs taking place this year. The list is a great starting point, although it's not comprehensive. If you don't see your city, check with your local library to see if it is sponsoring a One Book program.
