One Book One Nebraska is a statewide reading program in Nebraska that encourages residents to read and discuss a selected book each year. The program, now in its eleventh year, aims to promote literacy and community engagement by choosing books written by Nebraska authors or with a Nebraska theme or setting. The chosen book for 2016 is The Meaning of Names by Karen Gettert Shoemaker, a novel set in Nebraska during World War I that follows a German-American woman's struggle to protect her family from the effects of war, prejudice, and the influenza pandemic. Supported by the Nebraska Center for the Book, Humanities Nebraska, and the Nebraska Library Commission, One Book One Nebraska brings together various literary and cultural organizations to organize book discussions, activities, and events across the state. The program provides support materials for local reading discussions and updates on activities through their website and Facebook group. Its mission is to foster a sense of community around books, reading, and the written word, and to celebrate and stimulate public interest in literature.Generated from the website
