Adult Reading Challenge
Adult Reading Challenge 2026
 
 Join us for another year of our Adult Reading Challenge. Every month we'll encourage you to read a book in a particular genre. Read one book per month to earn a prize at the end of the year, or read five books per month to earn the Ultimate Reader status and earn a special prize! For each month you complete, you will also be entered into that month's raffle for a gift card to a local business.
 
February's genre is Not So Little Women – read a book about any prominent woman in American history - fiction counts! Stop by our book displays for some suggested titles, or check out this list for some ideas.
