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 that takes place or was written in the decade you were born. Stop by our book displays for some suggested titles, or check out this list for some ideas.

 
Now through February 14, 2026
 
Celebrate America's 250th birthday, one minute at a time!
