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.
