Each year, communities in the FM area read a book together and attend a discussion, led by the author of the book.

The program has been running in some form since at least 2012.

A Partnership Between Local Libraries and Organizations

The mission of the 1 Book, 1 Community project is to encourage the entire Fargo-Moorhead community to read one book, together.

Our hope is that this partnership between libraries in Fargo, West Fargo, Moorhead and each of the area’s universities will bring the community together in celebration of the joy of reading, as well as highlight the fascinating history of our area.

Your libraries are thrilled to share these titles with you each year, as well as a series of free events that explore the themes of the book.
