How to Participate

Get the Book
Pick up a copy of the book at your local public library or bookstore and start up a conversation with your family, friends, co-workers, or even the person sitting next to you as you ride the bus or train. This is your chance to take a moment and have a meaningful conversation with an old friend or make a new one.

Join In!
We invite you to join Honorary Chair, Maryland's First Lady Katie O'Malley, and thousands of other Marylanders at one of the many book discussions and related programs happening around the state in September and October.

How Can My Group or Organization Participate?
Organizations across Maryland are invited to participate in One Maryland One Book by planning free public programs related to the theme and topics of Outcasts United. Your organization can become an official partner by completing and returning the OMOB Partner Form to Andrea Lewis at Alewis@mdhc.org.

Free materials such as the Readers' Guide, poster, and bookmarks are available to participating organizations while supplies last.
