2024 Summer Reading Challenge

Join our Summer Reading Challenge today. Read books, win prizes.

The Summer Reading Challenge will run from May 23rd – July 31st , 2024.

How the Challenge Works

This Summer we are allowing our participants to set their own reading goals. Our challenge is for you to record the days on which you read. We hope you'll get a reading streak going this summer!

Simply check off the weekly paper calendar log for every day on which you do some reading. You can decide how many minutes or pages your summer reading should include.

Prizes are also a part of the Challenge. The Bookcart of Lil' Goodies is back with lots of fun items for you to choose from. After your 10th, 25th, 45th, and 65th days of reading you get to pick an item off the Bookcart of Lil' Goodies. The Bookcart will be available through August 11th.

Each day of reading also gives you a ticket in the Final Prize Drawings. With 35 days of reading you become eligible to be a winner. Each reader may only win one Final Prize.

We hope you enjoy a summer of good books!

        Final Prize Drawings will be held by August 7^th, 2024. Winners will be contacted.
