Three Finalists Announced for One Book One Lincoln

Published on May 27, 2024

Lincoln City Libraries (LCL) today announced the three finalists for the 2024 One Book One Lincoln Community Reading Program. The finalists are:

  • “A Little Devil in America" by Hanif Abdurraqib
  • "North Woods" by Daniel Mason
  • "The Berry Pickers” by Amanda Peters

“This year’s top three finalist selections offer readers a nice variety and are a great way to kick off the summer reading season. We look forward to receiving votes throughout the summer and learning which book our community selects as their One Book One Lincoln shared community read,” said Ryan Wieber, Lincoln City Libraries Director.

The book selection process began in February when a 17-member selection committee of community readers narrowed the 133 nominations down to the top three. The community is invited to vote to select the top title for the 2024 reading program. The deadline for voting is August 31. Ballots are available online only at lincolnlibraries.org

The books are available in print, downloadable audio and ebook formats and may be borrowed by placing reservations through the library catalog at lincolnlibraries.org

LCL has sponsored the annual program since 2002 to encourage adults in Lincoln and Lancaster County to read and discuss the same book at the same time, creating a community-wide reading and discussion experience.
