The bad news is the library has fallen to second place behind the Rochester Hills Public Library in Rochester, Michigan. Currently, they trail Rochester by a little more than 160 votes.

There's good news, though! The good news is that you can vote for the library once a day, every day until the end of the voting. So if you showed some library love last week, you can do so again. Set yourself a reminder on your phone or leave a note attached to your computer that will remind you to vote regularly.

Voting allegedly ends in October, but details on when exactly are hard to come by, so don't sit back and wait! And while you're helping out the library, take this survey and tell them about your e-book habits.
