Eight Libraries. Eight Books. 1 Winner.

Eight Simcoe County libraries are squaring off against each other in a cover-to-cover competition this year: Barrie, Bradford West Gwillimbury, Essa, Innisfil, Midland, New Tecumseth, Ramara and Severn. Based on Canada Reads, each library has selected a Canadian book and a local celebrity champion. It's time to pick your favourite, enjoy the debate, and vote to decide which book will be crowned the winner.
