Is a program created to give our youth the opportunity and space to discuss relevant topics and issues such as non-violence, peace, 

One Book Baltimore’s broad group of local community-oriented organizations will connect students and community members to increase student discourse to develop actions toward peace and anti-violence through schools, libraries, and other community spaces, with the dual goals of promoting literacy and enriching our community.

This initiative is made possible through the efforts and contributions of Baltimore City Public Schools, Baltimore Ceasefire, the Enoch Pratt Free Library, the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts, Johns Hopkins University, Arts & Minds Labs, Maryland Humanities, and the T. Rowe Price Foundation. These efforts are further supported and amplified by the partnerships with First Book, the Maryland Book Bank, CityLit Project, and others.
