One Book is a partnership between Read To Succeed, Linebaugh Library, and other Middle Tennessee non-profits and businesses to promote reading and unity in Rutherford County. Each year, the Read To Succeed One Book Committee reads dozens of books, narrows it down to one, and shares the book throughout the community.
