The Adult Reading Challenge runs from January through November of each year. It is designed to allow you to read the books you choose that fit the clues/tasks on the reading log. All books must be checked out with your DPL library card and all formats work-physical books, books on CD, and Ebooks  and eAudiobooks from the  hoopla or Libby apps. All books used must be from the Adult or Young Adult sections. There are 3 levels to qualify for prizes, so you decide what is the best challenge for your reading lifestyle.
