The Village Reads
“The Village Reads” evolved from the ‘One City One Book’ program which takes the idea of a localized book discussion group and expands it to cover an entire community. Started by Seattle in 1998, more than 50 US cities now sponsor similar programs, including many in California. Each city’s program has its own goals, which often include building a sense of community and promoting literacy. These ‘books in common’ programs often seek to bring together disparate groups to read a book and then discuss it, cutting across race, religion, socio-economics, sexual orientation, politics and cultural identities.
The Village Reads mission statement goals are
+ to become a positive change agent in our community,
+ to bring the reading public together through a common experience,
+ to value the pursuit of learning through books, and
+ to recognize our shared humanity.
The Village Reads currently conducts one community read event each year.
