2023 Winter Reading Challenges (January 9–February 19)

Winter is the absolute best time to read! Nothing beats cozying up under a nice warm blanket with some delicious coffee (or hot chocolate) and an amazing book. The only thing that could possibly make it better is to get rewarded for your reading. This winter, we’re offering three different reading challenges for adults, teens and kids so everyone in your family can enjoy the fun. The challenge begins Monday, January 9 and ends Sunday, February 19. Happy reading!
