Lincoln City Libraries will host three book discussions in July focusing on the finalists for the 2019 One Book-One Lincoln Community Reading program. The discussion schedule is as follows:
- Wednesday, July 10, 6:30 p.m., Bennett Martin Public Library, 136 S. 14th Street: The Great Believers by Rebeca Makkai
- Friday, July 19, 10:30 a.m., Bethany Branch Library, 1810 N. Cotner Blvd.: There, There by Tommy Orange
- Sunday, July 28, 2 p.m., Gere Branch Library, 2400 S. 56th Street: The Far Away Brothers by Lauren Markham
The book selection process began in January when a 15-member selection team of community readers narrowed a list of 112 nominated titles to three finalists. The community is invited to vote to select the top title through July 31. The title selected by popular vote will be announced on Monday, September 2. Votes can be cast four ways:
- With paper ballots at all library locations
- Online at lincolnlibraries.org
- On Facebook: @LNKLibraries
- On Twitter: @LNKLibraries
The books are available at all Lincoln libraries in various formats including print, audio and eBooks.
LCL has sponsored the annual program since 2002 to encourage reading and dialogue by creating a community-wide reading and discussion experience.
