ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to understand the value of Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury as the second most favored ‘One Book’, and the goals of the communities which selected this particular book. A total of 53 ‘One Book’ programs from 2001 through 2014 and 136 TBR programs from 2007 through 2015 selected this book as ‘One Book’ to read. In this study, 270 programs in TBR 2008/09, and more than 240 programs in TBR 2014/15 and several ‘One Book’ projects were analyzed. The results confirm the significance of book discussions and movie showing, the focus on such subjects as censorship, banned books, and freedom of expression, etc., and a close relationship between the diversity of programs and cooperation with community members.
