Richardson Reads One Book

Richardson Reads One Book RROB promotes and supports reading, and develops aesthetic, cultural and educational activities. RROB is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization.

The mission of the Richardson Reads One Book program is to cultivate community through the shared experience of reading and discussing important topics within an annual book selection and author visit. The goals of RROB are to build community participation in an annual program that selects and reads one particular book that is carefully chosen for its general interest as well as for its timely, th

ought-provoking issues; and to encourage citizens of our richly diverse community to come together to openly discuss the book and the issues it raises. The chosen book will be available in paperback and preferably will also be available in another format such as an audio recording or a film. The book will be accessible to high school as well as to adult audiences.

Just as flora and fauna enhance Finn's hikes in our RROB choice, native plants can beautify our lives. Join North Texas Master Naturalists, Chrissy and Sean Cortez-Mathis, to discover how native plants can transform an ordinary yard into a vibrant habitat that supports wildlife while creating a beautiful, lower-maintenance landscape. For adults and teens. Free seeds available while supplies last.

We're still buzzing about our 2026 Richardson Reads One Book announcement. We truly can't wait to welcome Kate Messner to our wonderful community this fall.

Today, we want to give a special sponsor shout out to Central Market. Their generous support made our reveal party extra sweet with those amazing themed treats. We’re so lucky to have them!
