One Book, One San Diego
About One Book One San Diego
Each year, in partnership with KPBS, the San Diego Public Library brings together our community and encourages residents to join others in the shared experience of reading the same book. The program encourages participation in related events, discussions of the ideas raised by One Book, One San Diego and examination of how these ideas connect with our daily lives.
