We hope you’ve enjoyed (or are enjoying) reading The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce, the book your votes helped to pick as this year’s One Book – One Lincoln winning title!

The next few days offer you two opportunities to actively engage with other fans of OBOL:

Walk in Wyuka

Sunday, October 13 2013, 2:00 p.m.
Wyuka Cemetery
3600 “O” St.

Take a literary pilgrimage by joining Lincoln historian Ed Zimmer on a walking tour, as he guides you to various graves and points of interest in Lincoln’s largest and oldest cemetery — with a focus on individuals with a literary significance in Lincoln’s history — authors, editors, publishers, etc.

Participants should meet at the Chapel to begin this walk!
