One MD One Book

READ BY ALL OF MARYLAND - SEPTEMBER to OCTOBER.

Now in its eighteenth year, One Maryland One Book remains Maryland’s only statewide community reading program. Each year, the selection process is guided by a common theme. The theme for 2025 is What We Collect, What We Tell.

The Maryland Center for the Book at Maryland Humanities partners with public libraries, high schools, colleges and universities, museums, bookstores, correctional facilities, and other organizations to bring book-centered discussions and other related events to communities across Maryland. But One Maryland One Book is not just about reading or literature; it is also about bringing people together for meaningful dialogue.
