One Book Baltimore returns! One Book Baltimore, now in its sixth year, is a collaboration among several local organizations to provide opportunities for Baltimore City 7th and 8th graders, their families, and community members to connect through literature by reading the same book. 

Area schools will be transported to the Central Library to view the live 2023 selection and author in person. The author will be in conversation about their writing and the selected title, with a Q&A to take place afterward. 

Discussions and programming will be held across the city this fall to spark conversations focused on themes from the book. Be sure to search "One Book Baltimore" in the Pratt's events calendar to find One Book Baltimore-related programming throughout the city, in our library branches!
