One Book, One Community is a regional reading campaign intended to promote the value of reading by recommending a compelling book that links the community in a common conversation. Public libraries in Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry and York counties are all participating in this important program.

Several communities across the country have initiated “One Book” efforts, but One Book, One Community, is the largest such effort in Pennsylvania. To learn more about One Book, One Community visit the website at http://www.oboc.org/.
