As in past years, the Friends of the Columbia Public Library will fund the purchase of multiple copies of the One Read title for people to check out so anyone wanting to read it will be able to before September. The library offers the book in large print, as an eBook and in downloadable and streaming audiobook formats as well.

The other title considered this year was “The Measure” by Nikki Erlick.
