ABSTRACT

The purpose of this research is to describe the characteristics of “One Book, One Community” reading promotion campaigns in which universities are involved in the U. S. A. Many universities and colleges in various communities participate in “One Book” campaigns in communities as leaders or partners, and promote reading for students on campus through either “One Book, One Campus” or “common reading programs.” Universities can contribute a lot to “One Book” campaigns in com- munities by providing library collection, human resources, and facilities, and especially coordinating programs and events which require subject specialties. Also, they can promote the significance of reading literary classics. “Common reading programs” help freshmen easily adjust to campus life and build the sense of belonging to the “academic community” by reading the same book and talking about it with other members of universities.
