Signature program
One Book One Norristown
One Book One Norristown (OBON) is the signature program of the NASD Education Foundation (NAEF). This annual arts and literacy festival is a community-centered initiative that encourages the Norristown community to engage with literacy and the arts through a shared reading experience. OBON promotes literacy and creates enthusiasm for reading by hosting prominent authors, reading their work together as a community, and engaging in a variety of educational events based on themes in their texts.
