Barstow Reads is modeled on the One Book One City/Community or One Book One School/Campus model. By reading the same text, community members come together to share, discuss, and engage with one another in a common literary experience. The One Book/One Community model offers the Barstow area an opportunity to promote literacy by reading and celebrating the written word; it demonstrates the value of human stories and allows community members to perhaps find common ground.

One Book, One San Diego is our region's premier literary program. Now in its 16th year, the purpose is to bring our community closer together through the shared experience of reading and discussing the same book. Each year, One Book, One San Diego features one book for adults, one for teens, one for kids and one for Spanish language readers (One Book Sin Fronteras). |
