One Book One Belmont
The library organizes this town-wide event, in which everyone is encouraged to read the same book. The mission is to build a spirit of community by bringing together individuals and groups through a series of book-related events and discussions, and to promote reading as an enjoyable and mind-opening activity. The featured title is selected by a committee made up of representatives of different town departments and commissions.
