It's Not What You Think

 

One Book, One Chicago

Inaugurated in the fall of 2001, the One Book, One Chicago program is launched each spring and fall to cultivate a culture of reading and discussion in Chicago by bringing our diverse city together around one great book. Reading great literature provokes us to think about ourselves, our environment and our relationships. Talking about great literature with friends, families and neighbors often adds richness and depth to the experience of reading. 

The Spring 2010 One Book, One Chicago selection will be announced in early March. Check back then for information on programs, performances and discussions taking place at library locations and other venues throughout Chicago in April 2010.
