Contest Rules

ONE BOOK, ONE BILLERICA
PASS IT ON!

What?

One Book, One Billerica, Pass It On is a community-wide book discussion group. It centers on the book "Hoot" by Carl Hiaasen, encouraging people to come together in the library, coffee shop, dentist office waiting room, schools, homes and offices to read and discuss the same book at the same time.

When?

January 1, 2010 through March 31st.

Who?

This is a collaborative project between the Billerica Public Library and the Family Friends of the Billerica Public Library, Inc. and is partially funded through a grant from FLIR Systems through the Billerica Community Fund.

Why?

The program’s goals are to bring the community together through a shared experience and to promote reading. In essence, we want to create a town-wide book club that will spark discussion among friends, families, co-workers, colleagues and strangers!

Where?

You can pick up a copy of "Hoot" at the Library, O’Connor Hardware, the Coffee Emporium, , Curves, Billerica Chiropractic, Dr. Feuerstein, DMD, Collins Bowladrome, Java’s Brewin’, Colleen Sgroi’s Art Gallery, Billerica Senior Center, Billerica Boys and Girls Club, and the Town Hall.

How?

You can participate by reading the book and sharing it with family and friends and then passing it on to another community member. Watch for special programming that will complement the themes in the book and further enhance this shared reading experience.

Connect to our "Hoot" Blog.
