One Book, One Chicago

One Book, One Chicago One Book, One Chicago is Chicago Public Library's citywide reading program. The book is just the beginning!

One Book, One Chicago seeks to cultivate a culture of reading in our city by reinforcing the importance and fun of reading and highlighting the benefits of reading together as a community. Annually a book is selected and promoted to all of Chicago. Each year, we offer you a chance to explore a theme from multiple perspectives, as recounted through personal experience, imagined in literature, presented in politics, or synthesized in music and art.
