About OMOB

The Maryland Center for the Book, a program of the Maryland Humanities Council, is pleased to launch One Maryland One Book—the first-ever statewide community-centered reading program designed to encourage everyone in the state to read and discuss one common book.

This year’s selection—A Hope in the Unseen by Ron Suskind—is rich and multilayered. It was selected not only because it offers the opportunity to discuss important and highly relevant topics such as education and socioeconomics, but also because it presents the opportunity to talk about race and race relations in Maryland and in America—a common theme running through the Maryland Humanities Council’s programming in 2008.
