Winter & Fall Challenges
The Winter and Fall Reading Challenges are 1-month challenges that reward everyone who reads 3 books during the month. Prizes available while supplies last.
Participating in the Winter or Fall Challenge is super easy:
- Read at least 3 great books during the month

Summer Reading Challenge
Take part in the Summer Reading Challenge in June and July! All ages are welcome. Kids birth to 12 years old earn a prize for every 2 hours of reading (up to 8 hours). Teens and adults will earn two great prizes for reading 6 books in June and July. Prizes available while supplies last.
A trip to the library, gallery, bookmobile or Adventuremobile is a great way to keep brains active and entertained with performers, activities, art and reading.
