The community is invited to vote to select the top title for the 2022 reading program. The deadline for voting is August 27. Ballots are available online only.
The books are available in print, compact disc (except for Hell of a Book), downloadable audio, and eBook formats and may be borrowed by placing reservations through the library catalog.
