Did you attend a preview discussion?

One Book - One LincolnSo…were you one of the interested readers who attended one of the five Preview Discussions in the past 10 days? If so, we’d love to hear from you — what did you think? Did you learn anything new about the One Book process that you weren’t aware of? What interested you the most?

One Book One Lincoln Preview Discussion Podcast

One Book - One LincolnAs part of the countdown to the revelation of this year’s single One Book — One Lincoln title on September 8th, a series of Preview Discussions are being held throughout the community. These meetings, held at bookstores in various parts of Lincoln, feature members of the One Book selection committee, discussing the process of narrowing down the list of suggested titles to the five finalists — the public has been invited to attend and ask questions.

We’ve been recording some of these Preview Discussions for release as Podcasts on the library’s website, and the first of them (a talk at the A Novel Idea used bookstore downtown) is now available:
