Our year-long challenge is here to help you expand your reading horizons. For each month of 2024 we’ve created a reading task to encourage you to try something new. Complete the tasks in order or jump around the calendar. It’s up to you.

Throughout the year, check our Reading Challenge Blog or ask your librarians for book suggestions to help you complete the challenge. Give us a call at 708-867-7828. We’re here to help.
