Saratoga Reads makes final call for book nominations

If you are digging into any great books this summer or have some titles you highly recommend, Saratoga Reads wants to hear from you.  As the community reading program gears up for its sixth year, organizers are seeking nominations for this year?s book of choice.  The deadline for nominations is August 21.

The winning title will be selected by a community vote and will serve as the springboard for a series of events and programs.

Nominations may include novels, short stories, memoirs, non-fiction works, and biographies.  The nominated books must be readily available in paperback, capable of inspiring community programming and invigorating dialogue, and must not exceed 400 pages in length.

Nominations will be accepted via an online nomination form.  In addition, nomination boxes are located at the Saratoga Springs Public Library, Borders in downtown Saratoga Springs, and Barnes & Noble in Wilton.

The ballot of top titles will be announced October 1, and public voting will be open through the month of October. The winning book will be announced November 6.

Saratoga Reads is a volunteer organization dedicated to creating an extensive and shared conversation for a range of age groups.  The program centers on the community reading of a single book, one compelling enough to inspire lively conversation and diverse educational and cultural activities.

Saratoga Reads is a Skidmore College?Saratoga collaboration.
