March Madness is coming to the Dayton Metro Library and we need your help! Don’t worry, you won’t have to fight for a rebound or hit a three point shot at the buzzer. It’s not that kind of madness... exactly.

All you have to do is vote for your favorite books and track their progress on our website. Help us pick the National Champion Novel!
