One Book One New Orleans holds a special place in my heart. In the five years I’ve served on the board, I’ve seen firsthand how books can spark connection, conversation, and community. Our free, family-friendly events bring the stories and themes of each year's book into neighborhoods across the city, creating space for people of all ages to learn, reflect, and come together. Please consider supporting our work to build a more connected, more literate New Orleans, One Book at a time.

One Book One New Orleans is a nonprofit organization that supports literacy, builds community, and promotes meaningful dialogue between people of diverse backgrounds by calling on all New Orleanians to share the experience of reading and discussing a selected book each year, and providing literacy resources to organizations and individuals throughout our community.
