One Book, One Community organizers seek public votes for the 2016 book title!
One Book One Community org
anizers are once again asking the public to vote for next year’s One Book, One Community book selection! The public vote initiative is a way to promote community involvement in the selection of the title, rather than handing over a single title each year. This year there will be four titles on the ballot. The 2016 OBOC regional campaign represents collaboration between 80 libraries in six counties: Berks, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry and York.
How the voting works…
From a ballot with four book titles that made the final grade by the Book Selection committee, the public is asked to pick one of the four books that they would be interested in reading and discussing in 2016. To vote the public will go to www.oboc.org to access an online ballot. For those who wish to fill out a paper ballot, they must go to participating libraries to cast their vote. The public may also submit their vote at Isaac’s Restaurant locations in the region. Readers who vote at Isaac's will also be entered for a chance to win $100 Isaac's gift card. Readers who vote at libraries or online at oboc.org are automatically entered for a chance to win $100 Giant Food Stores gift card. Berks, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry and York counties will participate in the 2016 campaign.
One Book, Your Vote for the OBOC 2016 title will take place August 1 – 31, 2015. The winner will be announced to the public in October, 2015. With the public vote for the 2016 title, reading of the OBOC title will take place in January, and programs at the public libraries will begin in February, which is designated as both Library Lovers’ Month and Book Lovers’ Month. Multiple copies of the winning title will be available at your local public library beginning in January 2016.
