One Book, One San Diego is our region’s premier literary program, presented by KPBS in partnership with more than 80 public libraries, service organizations and educational institutions, including the UC San Diego Library! Now in its 16th year, the purpose of the program is to bring our community together through the shared experience of reading and discussing the same book. Each year, One Book, One San Diego features one book for adults, a book for teens, a book for kids and a book for Spanish language readers (One Book Sin Fronteras).
In the early part of the calendar year, the community is asked to nominate titles the entire community should read together. The Advisory Committees review these nominations and ultimately select titles they believe fit the selection criteria best. The chosen titles are announced at The San Diego Union-Tribune Festival of Books in August, and community events inspired by the books selected are hosted throughout the fall.
Nominations for 2022 are now open! Please review the selection criteria prior to submitting a nomination.
¡Abiertas las nominaciones para 2022! Revise los criterios de selección antes de nominar una libro.
This modest exhibit, located in Geisel Library West on the 2nd (main) Floor, includes paper ballots and other helpful information about the program and past book selections.
