WHAT IF ALL OF MALIBU READ THE SAME BOOK?

“One Book, One City-Malibu” was proclaimed Malibu's official community reading program when on March 19, 2003, Mayor Jeff Jennings established the month of April as “One Book, One City-Malibu” month. Now in its sixth year, “One Book, One City–Malibu” invites the entire community to read and enjoy “California Poetry: From the Gold Rush to the Present.”

In 1998 the “Washington Center for the Book,” along with the Seattle Public Library, launched "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book," the germination for the “One Book, One City” community wide reading programs. Since then, the “One Book, One City” program has spread to more than 200 American cities and to several cities world-wide. We are proud to be included in this world–wide literacy program!
