To celebrate 25 years of One Read, we asked our incredible community to vote in a tournament, pitting previous years’ titles against each other over several rounds to determine our champion. The last round of voting required the hard decision between two reader favorites: “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” by Rebecca Skloot and “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee. A huge thanks goes to the hundreds who voted.
We are so pleased to announce the One Read Tournament of Champions winner, by a razor-thin margin, is “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee!
Please join us for a book discussion of “To Kill a Mockingbird” on Wednesday, September 30 from 6-7 p.m. in the Friends Room of the Columbia Public Library.
The winner of the One Read Book Shelf (a complete collection of all 25 One Read books) will be contacted soon.
