One Book/One Hopkinton is a community-wide read which centers around Anne Tyler's book Digging to America. In a town that welcomes and engages with all, we hope that it sparks discussions in Hopkinton about who we are as a community, and who we want to be as individuals. There are many ways that Hopkinton residents can participate, including checking out the book, attending a book discussion or one of the many spectacular programs we have scheduled over the next three months, or discussing the book's themes with family and friends.
