One Book, One Rosemount
Local Government Innovation Awards
One Book, One Rosemount
The Rosemount Community Leaders group wanted to do something in our Rosemount that could bring people together to focus on a common goal of bettering our community. We chose to reinforce a sense of community by collaborating, publicizing and focusing efforts to promote one book title to the residents of Rosemount to promote literacy. We worked to involve community leaders, schools, churches, families and teens by choosing a book that would have intergenerational appeal.
