In its 17th year, One Book, One San Diego is our region's premier community reading program! It is a partnership between KPBS, San Diego Public Library, the San Diego County Library, and many other key community partners. The purpose of the program is to bring our community together and encourage residents to join together in the shared experience of reading and discussing the same book. The program also encourages participation in related events, discussions of the ideas raised in the featured books, and examination of how these ideas connect with our daily lives and local communities. Each year, One Book, One San Diego features one book for adults, one for teens, one for kids and one for Spanish language readers (One Book Sin Fronteras). The Spanish-language book is a direct translation of, or explores the same themes found within, the One Book adult selection.
The process for selecting the One Book titles is designed for maximum community participation. Residents of San Diego and Imperial County and Baja California were invited to nominate books and over 400 submissions were received!
