		Mission Statement The mission of “One Book, One Community” is to promote literacy and a love for reading, celebrate diversity, and foster a community of readers by providing opportunities to explore and discuss a common text. Return to top Goals & Objectives The partner institutions strive to achieve the following: Promote access to the selected book through increased availability at local libraries and bookstores. Encourage widespread reading of the selected book through advertising and events that center on book readings and discussions. Create a connection between readers and author by inviting the author to speak to readers. Outreach to the community by hosting exhibits, guest speakers, discussion sessions, film screenings, and other cultural events that are free and open to the public. Recognize that reading is just as much a shared experience as it is a private activity. Read, celebrate, and share with their fellow community members.
