When the challenge is announced and if you sign up, you can easily fill in the books you’ve already read so far this year.

Since any books checked out (and read) from DPL on or after January 1, 2021 will count towards the challenge, we recommend keeping notes about what you read!

Due to COVID-19, the launch of the 2021 Adult Reading Challenge may be later than usual.  Please stay tuned to our website and social media for the latest information.

Thank you for your patience and Happy Reading!
