About One Book Montana

“What If Everyone in Montana Read the Same Book…?”

Humanities Montana is partnering with libraries to relaunch One Book Montana, a statewide read spotlighting the 2025 Great Reads from Great Places authors. The statewide read will run from October 1 2025 – February 28 2026. The One Book Montana program invites all Montanans to read Becoming Little Shell: A Landless Indian’s Journey Home by Chris La Tray. Youth are invited to participate by reading The Mystery of Mystic Mountain by Janet Fox.
