One City One Book is a Hamilton-wide program

that promotes the powerful shared experience of reading the same book. Copies of this

year's selection, Hidden Figures, have been distributed to various sites

throughout the city. If you find one, we invite you to take a selfie with the book

and post it to Facebook with the hashtag #OneCityOneBookHamilton. When you're

done reading, pass the book along to a friend or leave it at a local gathering place so we can see

how it travels throughout the community.
