One Book Nova Scotia

One Book Nova Scotia is an exciting new project Libraries Nova Scotia is offering in the Fall of 2012. Many places around the world have successfully carried out community wide reading events such as Calgary, Hamilton, and Prince Edward Island. Now it’s Nova Scotia’s turn!

Designed to foster a love of reading, “unity reading” – many people reading the same book, encourages discussion and excitement about a book.

Public libraries, university and community college libraries, Nova Scotia Provincial Library, as well as booksellers and the Writers’ Federation of Nova Scotia are working together on the One Book Nova Scotia initiative.

A book has been selected but is being kept top secret for now until the launch in September.
