The purpose of this research is to analyze the characteristics and problems of 'Reading Cheongju' which launched as 'One Book, One City' reading promotion campaign in 2006 and conducted 23 times for the past 15 years. The analysis of the selection criteria of 'one book', 31 selected books, and the activity of reading and discussion shows the strength of continuity and stability of 'Reading Cheongju'. However, the following weaknesses need to be improved on: the inadequate change in book selection criteria, selection of several books according to age groups instead of 'One Book', lack of consistency in themes of selected books, preference for best-sellers and popular works, difficulty in identifying the continuance of individual participation in reading and discussion, librarians' role limited to organizing programs, and lacking in direct participation in discussion and communication, and events and programs only led by Cheongju City Library without any cooperation from community members.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the characteristics and problems of "Reading Cheongju" campaign which started as "One Book, One City" reading promotion campaign in 2006 and conducted three times in two years. The analysis of such steps as the selection and distribution of "one book", reading and discussion. events and programs, financial assistance, public relations, etc. documents both positive and negative aspects of its performance. "Reading Cheongju" campaign helped improve both the image of the Cheongju Information Library and the importance of reading and discussion in the community, while lacking in participation from diverse groups of community members, flexibility in spending public expenses, and cooperation among libraries and other related organizations.

미국에서는 1998년 워싱턴주 시애틀에서 '만약 시애틀 전체 시민이 같은 책을 읽는다면 (if All of Seattle Read the Same Book)${\cdots}$'이라는 프로젝트로 시작한 '한 도시, 한 책' 운동이 2001년 일리노이주 시카고에서 '한 책, 한 시카고(One Book, One Chicago)'로 본격화되었다. 국내에서는 2003년 충남 서산에서의 '한 책' 시범 운영 후 김해와 순천, 부산, 청주, 대전, 용인, 부천 등 여러 도시에서 '같이 또 다르게' 진행되고 있다. 김해에서도 2007년 '책 읽는 도시-김해'를 선포하면서 시작한 "김해의 책"이 올해로 5년째를 맞는다. 그간의 활동을 정리하며 "김해의 책"이 갖는 비전과 사회적 책읽기로서의 가능성에 대해 전망해 본다.
