Teen Winter Reading Challenge: January 18–February 28
It’s the perfect time of year to snuggle up with a book and hot chocolate! So check out a new author, the first book in a series, a graphic novel or a biography and start reading for our Teen Winter Reading Challenge. All you have to do is read (or listen) for 180 minutes (just three hours) per week to be entered into weekly prize drawings. That’s just 30 minutes a day!
The challenge starts on Monday, January 18. Teens in grades 6–12 should use their Fountaindale Library card to register. Get started by clicking on the green registration button at the bottom of the page. This will take you to Beanstack. Then you can start logging your reading including books, eBooks, audiobooks and eAudiobooks. Need help? View our Registration & Logging help document.
