The following are lists of "award-winning" fiction and non-fiction works. "Hotlinked" titles within these booklists will connect you to the holdings screens in our catalog, so that you can check on the availability of individual books. Titles which are not hotlinked in many of these lists, might not be owned by the Lincoln City Libraries but appear here for the sake of keeping these established lists complete. You may wish to pursue such titles through other sources, including the library's Interlibrary Loan request service.
