Is reading more books in 2025 one of your New Year’s resolutions? We’ve partnered with NoveList to bring you our 2025 Reading Challenge!
It’s simple: each month, our library will share a new theme to inspire your reading. You can browse a list of suggested picks, visit our 2025 Reading Challenge display table, or browse on your own!
This January, we’re kicking things off with: “Feed your inner child with a children’s book.” Whether you pick up a children’s book, explore a children’s Playaway, or dive into digital resources like Libby and Hoopla, there are so many options to enjoy.
Ready to get started? Download our 2025 Tracking Sheet, then browse our online catalog or display table for your first book. Happy reading!
