About "One Book" - Goals
The East Lansing—Michigan State University “One Book, One Community” project is accomplishing three goals: 1) it serves as a public statement of our community’s commitment to humanistic values and the importance of creative and imaginative endeavor; 2) it connects people to the experience of literature and to each other; and 3) it promotes positive interaction between East Lansing High School students and adult residents of the community, and between MSU students and permanent residents of the community.
The program is creating opportunities for individuals to learn more about each other through the sharing of a common interest. Participation is entirely voluntary.
