Read 1000 Books! Our library has a new program that encourages families to read 1,000 books with their children before they enter kindergarten.
Earn a prize for every 100 books read!
Parents: You can create an account for yourself first and then you can add additional accounts for each of your children. That way you will have the ability to easily monitor your child's activity without having to login as each child.
Welcome to the 2025 Great Reading Challenge for adults 18+. CHOOSE your challenge!!
CHOOSE your book, read it, log it, and earn 1 point.
CHOOSE which missions/challenges to complete from the mission list and when to complete them. Earn 1 point/mission. Each mission can only be completed only once during the 2025 year.
CHOOSE the time frame(s) you want to participate: all year, one or more quarters. A prize winner will be drawn at the end of each quarter.
CHOOSE your goal level of points to earn: Bronze (18-29 points), Silver (30-49 points), Gold (50-79 pts.), Platinum (80-99 pts.), or Diamond (100+ pts.). For each level you achieve, you will earn a ticket to enter the drawings at the End-of-the-Challenge Party in January of 2026!!
This program is designed for readers of all ages to encourage life-long reading habits. Once you've earned enough points you'll receive a completion certificate you can print and share!
