Vote Locally, Nationally for Great American Read

PBS is on a quest to find the best loved novel and your vote can count.
And the Coeur d’Alene Public Library is polling its patrons to discover our community’s favorite piece of fiction, too.
To vote locally visit the library at 702 E. Front Ave., check out The Great American Read Display and fill in a ballot.
PBS unveiled a list of America’s 100 best-loved novels, chosen in support of The Great American Read, a new PBS television series and multi-platform initiative that celebrates the joy of reading and the books we love. National voting has begun and will run through Oct. 18. In order to vote, you may select one of the following options:
Phase One:
 By using the voting app on the Great American Read website – www.pbs.org/the-great-american-read/vote. You’ll have to register before your first vote, using either your email address or a Facebook login, but after that you’ll be able to vote with just a few clicks.
 By posting an original post to Facebook or Twitter using the official hashtag for your favorite book. The hashtags for each book can be found on the individual book pages. You can place one vote for each book every day.
Phase Two: 
When the full series of The Great American Read launches on Sept. 11, two extra ways to vote will be available:
 By calling a toll-free phone number for each book. PBS will add the phone numbers for each book on Sept. 11.
 By sending an SMS with a unique code for your favorite book. These numbers will also be available Sept. 11. All voting methods will close on Oct. 18 at midnight PT. The winner will be announced Oct. 23.
