One Book – One Lincoln is a community reading project co-sponsored by Lincoln City Libraries. The program encourages all adults in Lincoln and Lancaster County to read and discuss the same book at the same time. The goal of the program is to encourage reading and dialogue by creating a community-wide reading and discussion experience. 

• Lincoln City Libraries must able to purchase 150 copies either in hardcover or trade paperback.
• The book must be available in large print format, available in audio book format (either book on CD or eAudio, preferably both) and available in eBook format.
• Juvenile titles were eliminated.
• The committee prefers books that are no more than 500 pages in length.
• Titles that were finalists in previous years were eliminated.

This year, 78 vetted titles made it through to the Selection Committee! Ten books made up the group of finalists and the winning three titles were announced on Memorial Day. The winning book will be announced on Labor Day, 2020!
