Two weeks to go!

One Book - One LincolnThere are only two more weeks to go until the winning title for the 2009 One Book One Lincoln will be announced, both in the Lincoln Journal Star newspaper and here on the libraries’ web site.

In the meantime, we’re curious to hear — how many of the top 12 finalists have you read this summer?

Did you have any favorites, or least favorites? Why?

Let us know what you think about this year’s crop of OBOL titles!

Remainder of Top 12 announced (2009)!

One Book - One LincolnHello to all the One Book One Lincoln fans following our One Book Blog!

Preview discussions have been held at three area bookstores, where members of the One Book committee have discussed the process by which the hundreds of public One Book recommendations were whittled down to the Top 12 choices.

The top 5 Finalists were previously announced, both in the newspaper and through the libraries. However, there’s been enough interest expressed in the remainder of the Top 12 that the other seven titles are now being shared. You can find them on our 2009 One Book Finalists page, hotlinked into our catalog. Just click through on that link.

Enjoy…and keep reading all of the finalists. The winner will be announced on August 31st.
