Siouxland Libraries 31 Days of Horror Readathon

1. Runs October 1-31, 2020. No pre-registration.

2. Choose a team. Finish your team's challenges first (1 movie, 5 books) and then you may complete other teams' challenges and get more points for your team. In order to get points for a movie, you must watch it in October 2020, even if you have already seen it. Each book counts for only ONE challenge.

3. Submit your points: Scroll to the bottom of this page and click "Next." (You can fill out all of the challenges you completed once at the end OR fill it out each time you complete one challenge.) Paper copies are available at library branches.

4. The team with the most points wins!

 

Scores will be averaged based on how many participants are on a team. No limit to how many participants are on each team.

 

Participants from the winning team will be entered into a prize raffle. Drawing will occur on November 6, 2020. Prizes must be picked up in person at a Siouxland Libraries branch.

 

Let us know what you’re reading! Share your books and progress on social media and tag Siouxland Libraries.
