Mini Monthly Reading Challenges for All Ages

Our Mini Monthly Reading Challenges are now open to Adults (in addition to Grades K-12) and have an option for paper tracking! If you read for five hours during the calendar month, get a SurPRIZE! Our Mini Monthly Reading Challenges run every month from September to May.

How it works:

  1. Track your reading either way:
    • Paper Tracking Bookmark: all ages can pick up from the Reference Desk or the Second Floor Circulation Desk
    • Beanstack: Log your time spent reading online with Beanstack, the same software we use for Online Summer Reading  
  2. Pick up your prize!
    • Adults: go to the Reference Desk
    • Grades K-12: go to the Second Floor Circulation Desk

Is five hours too easy for you? Make the challenge harder by making it a specific type of reading, such as a genre that is new to you or listening to an audiobook while going for a walk.

We will continue having Mini Monthly Reading Challenges in future months (excluding June, July, & August).
