Launched in 2007, One Book, One San Diego encourages everyone in the San Diego and the Northern Baja region to read and discuss the same book. One Book is selected for four categories of readers: adults, teens, kids and Spanish speakers. It is a partnership, led by KPBS, with the San Diego Public Library, the San Diego County Library, San Diego State University and more than 40 others.
The program is funded by the Linden Root Dickinson Foundation, Seth Sprague Educational and Charitable Foundation, the Frieda Berlinski Foundation, the Payne Family Foundation, Kaiser Permanente, the City of San Diego and Lloyd Pest Control.
