Lebanon County Reads is an event to decide which book residents of Lebanon County are going to read as a community over the summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The contest was started in 2018 and quickly became a tradition. Each year, the libraries of Lebanon County choose six books for the community to vote on. Community members can vote via paper ballot located at the local libraries or online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voting for summer 2020 ran from March 1, through March 31. The winning book will be announced on Friday, May 1. The titles up for selection this year were \u201cThe Dearly Beloved\u201d by Cara Wall; \u201cMaid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother\u2019s Will to Survive\u201d by Stephanie Land; \u201cThe Other Americans\u201d by Laila Lalami; \u201cThe Poet X\u201d by Elizabeth Acevedo; \u201cRunning With Sherman: The Donkey With The Heart Of A Hero\u201d by Christopher McDougall and \u201cThe Widows\u201d by Jess Montgomery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Past winners include The Baker\u2019s Secret<\/em> by Stephen P. Kiernan in 2019 and <\/em>America\u2019s First Daughter<\/em> by Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie in 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The author of the winning book will visit Congregation Beth Israel in September for the culmination of the event. The next voting period will begin in March 2021. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
