An Analytical Study on the Books Selected in ‘One Book, One City’ Reading Campaigns in the U.S.A.
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to understand the current status of ‘One Book, One City’ community-wide reading campaign by analyzing the characteristics of the books selected during the past fifteen years. According to the lists of ‘One Book, One City’ Reading Promotions Projects’ available from the website of the Library of Congress, the Center for the Books, a total of 1,037 books were selected by 2,220 ‘One Book’ programs. Major findings are as follows: First, 278 books(26.8%) and 759 books(73.2%) were selected by more than two ‘One Book’ programs and one program, respectively; Second, three most popular books were To Kill a Mockingbird(chosen in 84 programs), Fahrenheit 451(in 53 programs), and The Kite Runner(in 50 programs); Third, with the wide diffusion of ‘One Book’ campaigns, the selection of unique books by individual ‘One Book’ programs has increased, and the impact of the books selected by ‘Seattle Reads’ and ‘One Book, One Chicago’ has gradually decreased.
