About the One Book, One College Program
For thousands of years, humans have used stories to communicate knowledge about the world. Stories provide contexts for our understanding of facts, emotions, discoveries, history, relationships, and all kinds of human interaction.

For this reason, the Moraine Valley Library and the Moraine Valley Bookstore invite all members of the Moraine Valley community to come together to discuss a selected story in the One Book, One College program. Join us in discussing a selected story so that we may share knowledge across disciplines, exchange new ideas on useful topics, and enrich our curriculum in new ways.

For more information on our schedule of events, contact us at (708) 974-5709 or swanson@morainevalley.edu.
