Read Around the Library Challenge
Read Around the Library Challenge
Take your love of the Library to the next level with the Read Around the Library Challenge at Saxton B. Little!
In the Fiction Challenge, you’ll read books from authors with last names beginning with each letter of the alphabet. In the Nonfiction Challenge, you’ll read a book from each Dewey category of the Nonfiction section and a variety of books from our Biography section. (See the challenge tracking sheets for all the details.)
Upon completion of either challenge (Fiction or Nonfiction), you’ll receive a Saxton B. Little pint glass exclusive to this program. Complete both Fiction and Nonfiction challenges and earn an additional glass to make a set! At the end of the calendar year, we’ll draw a grand prize from all of the previous year’s winners, and they will win gift cards to local area businesses.

FAQ:
Q: Can the books be from the YA/JF/Easy sections?
A: No, all books need to be from the adult sections of the Library.
Q: Can I read a large print or paperback book?
A: Definitely!
Q: Do audiobooks count?
A: Absolutely! Just be sure that you’re listening to books from the adult audiobook sections.
Q: How long do I have to complete each challenge?
A: You can take as long as you’d like! Just note that the grand prize will only be drawn once per year, so your entry will only qualify for that prize in the year in which you return the tracking sheet.
