About One Book
The "One Book, One Community" program encourages the East Lansing and Michigan State University community to read the same book over a six-week period this fall and to come together to discuss it in a variety of settings. Although dozens of similar programs have been sponsored nationwide, this is one of the very few that bring together a city and a university.
The 2009 program will begin on August 30, 2009. The book selection this year is Steve Lopez's "The Soloist: A Lost Dream, An Unlikely Friendship, And The Redemptive Power of Music.".
