Join the Sioux City Public Library for Sioux City Reads, a new community-based reading initiative where Sioux Cityans are involved every step of the way – from book selection to attending programming and book discussions together.

Through November 21, cast your vote for one of three exciting books to help select the 2023 Sioux City Reads title at SiouxCityLibrary.org/siouxcityreads. Copies of each title are available for check out at any Sioux City Public Library location or through the Libby app.

Vote for one of the three following titles:

  • On a Night of a Thousand Stars by Andrea Yaryura Clark –  In an emotional narrative of love and resilience, a young couple confronts the start of Argentina’s Dirty War in the 1970s, and their daughter searches for truth twenty years later.
  • The Lioness by Chris Bohjalian – A luxurious African safari turns deadly for a Hollywood starlet and her entourage in this riveting historical thriller. Bohjalian presents a blistering story of fame, race, love, and death set in a world on the cusp of great change.
  • Calling for a Blanket Dance by Oscar Hokeah – Honest, heartbreaking, and ultimately uplifting, this deeply engaging debut novel is the story of a young Native American man discovering strength in his familial identity and finding his way home. 

The winner will be announced this December and will serve as inspiration for events, discussions, and programs throughout the upcoming Sioux City Reads initiative.
