One Book

One book is a community book reading project, challanging 1000 people throughout the northwest to read the same book between March and June 2006. A panel of library staff in conjunction with community relations boards have chosen the title 'Divided City' by Theresa Breslin.

The specific aims and objectives of the project are;

To bring communities together to discuss issues around peace and reconciliation by encouraging them to read the same book at the same time.

Objectives:
- To get 1,000 people (from both communities and both sides of the border) reading the book in a four-month period.
- To encourage debate about the book and issues of Peace and Reconciliation through agreed activities and local media coverage.
- To raise the profile of the library services
