What is One Book – One Bozeman?
One Book - One Bozeman is a community-wide read program to promote community building and literacy through reading a common book. Under the auspices of a program designed by the Library of Congress, cities and towns across America launched community-wide read programs starting over a decade ago. 2008 is the first One Book-One Bozeman, and we hope it becomes an annual tradition.
What is the book?
 The 2008 One Book – One Bozeman book selection is Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Man Who Would Cure the World by Pulitzer Prize-winner Tracy Kidder. This New York Times bestseller tells the story of Paul Farmer, an anthropologist and physician who dedicates himself to delivering quality health care to some of the world’s poorest people. His story takes us from the halls of Harvard to the rural areas of Haiti, Peru, Cuba, and Russia, where Farmer shows us how radical change can be achieved by a single person. [More information]
Is One Book – One Bozeman a reading program or an event?
In fact, it is both. Take time this summer to read the book. Then, in September and October, we will host a series of activities throughout the community to learn more about issues raised in the book, meet one another, and learn about amazing people in our own community. [Schedule of Events]
What’s In It For Me?
A chance to read a wonderful book. A chance to learn about health care and social justice issues in Haiti, Peru, Russia and other places. A chance to meet people in Bozeman who are motivated by the same issues. A chance to share your story.
Where Can I Find the Book?
The Bozeman Public Library has over 30 copies available for check-out. Our local booksellers are partners in this effort and are well stocked.
Who is organizing One Book – One Bozeman?
A host of volunteers and community partners, including the Bozeman Public Library, the Bozeman Public Library Foundation, Hopa Mountain, MSU, and Yellowstone Public Radio.
