This year, IPL is participating in the Massachusetts Center of the Book’s 2024 Reading Challenge!

How does the challenge work?

Each month you’ll choose a book that fits that month’s challenge! The challenges are listed below.

• January: A book you read years ago that you may feel differently about now

• February: A book with a color in the title

• March: A book whose protagonist has a different culture or lifestyle from you

• April: A book about nature, the environment, or climate change

• May: A graphic novel

• June: A book that inspired a film or television series

• July: A book by an author born outside of the United States

• August: A book whose title starts with the same letter as your birthday month

• September: A debut book by a Massachusetts author

• October: A book about a time in history you’d like to know more about

• November: A relaxing, soul-soothing book

• December: A well-reviewed book in your least favorite genre

After you’ve read your book enter it into the reading challenge form.

What can you win?

Dedicated readers will be invited to a year-end celebration hosted by Mass Center for the Book.

If you read a book in each of the 12 months, you will be entered in a drawing to win 1 of 2 totes filled with books.

The Mass Center for the Book will be drawing two names on the last day of each month to win a free book!

We would love to hear about what you are reading! Each month we will post at the beginning and the end of the month about that month’s challenge. We encourage you to comment what book you read for the challenge!
