Thank you for casting your vote for this year’s One Read community reading title. The winning book will be announced on May 22, and our Task Force organizations will begin the work of planning a variety of engaging programs for September. In the meantime, read more about our two finalists: “The Measure” by Nikki Erlick and “North Woods” by Daniel Mason. Both of these thought-provoking novels tell stories of complex, interconnected characters, the decisions they make and how those decisions affect the people — and the world — around them.


One Read is generously underwritten by the Friends of the Columbia Public Library and made possible by organizations in our community. We thank all of our partners on the task force for their support.
