A citywide invitation to read, reflect, and come together
One Book One Denver is an annual reading experience for adults that brings the city together through a shared story. Each year begins with a Book Reveal on August 7, followed by programming across Denver throughout August and September in libraries, cultural spaces, and partner venues across the city.
Read the selected book at your own pace, then join us for author talks, creative programs, and community gatherings that explore its themes and connect us through a shared experience. The season culminates in an Author Talk in late September.
One Book One Denver: Book Reveal

August 7 | Central Library | Park View
A book is about to take over Denver. We know the title. For now, that's all we're saying.
Choose one of two timed entries and be among the first to step inside the world of this year's One Book One Denver selection. The evening unfolds through readings, live music, art, and making, with Suzi Q. Smith, Steven Dunn, Wes Watkins, The Reminders, Rick Griffith, The Shop at MATTER, and Street Wise Arts.
Every registered guest leaves with a free copy, so the mystery ends and the reading begins that night.
