And the winner is...

The suspense was high, but at last, the votes have been tallied. And the winner is... Urban Meltdown, by Clive Doucet!

Thanks to everyone who helped out, attended, voted, participated and read. Watch this space for more exciting events throughout the year. And, let us know if you'd like to be involved by writing guelphreads@gmail.com.

The discussion is just beginning...

What's next?

Guelph Reads is not over for 2008! There is much more to come. Plans for the next few weeks include:

- A radio show on CFRU 93.3 FM, featuring the panelists reading from their nominated books and reiterating their pitches, an interview with "Urban Meltdown" author Clive Doucet and more. Listen at 8 AM, Tuesday May 13th or check guelphreads.org shortly thereafter.

- An online book club in partnership with the Guelph Public Library's Book Club Blog

- Ongoing opportunities to talk about books and social change. This blog could be a hub for ideas about reading and social change. How can we encourage Guelph to read these books? What kinds of changes would come from this? What should we do to make these things happen?
