Since 1998, communities all over the United States have increasingly embraced the notion of civic unity through the reading of literature.  There are now statewide, citywide, and even countrywide reading programs all over the world.
 
The City of Highland Park, the Highland Park Public Library, and Borders Books & Music share a commitment to the value of reading and are proud to announce and sponsor One Book, One Highland Park, a community–wide reading program customized for Highland Park. 
 
This program is designed to broaden and deepen an appreciation of reading and compel friends, families and neighbors to share their experience while reading the same book. The project will engage the community in dialogue and seeks to bring people together by promoting tolerance and understanding about differing points of view.
