About One Book, One County

One Book, One County is a community reading program for Summer 21024 that celebrates collaboration, education, and conversation across our country and emphasizes the power of connected libraries to create connected communities. This program is unique because instead of one book for one library system, all 9.8 million County residents are invited to read one book together, with supportive programming provided by a network of partnered Los Angeles County library jurisdictions.
