    A Uniting Force: The One Book, One City Program in Indianapolis
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2005) Bowron, Patrick; Buck, Katherine; Micheel, Ryan; Mihelich, Amanda
    One Book, One City is a nation-wide program in which everyone in a community reads the same book. Typically an annual event, the program is intended to foster a sense of community, promote reading among adults, and celebrate literature. This paper evaluates the implementation of Indianapolis’s version of this program—One Book, One City: Indy Reads. In order to do this, the paper analyzes Indianapolis’s reaction to the program through book circulation, community involvement, and patron response.
