2024 Library Love Reading Challenge

About the Challenge

The purpose of this challenge is to borrow and read more books from the library, so that we can show some love to our local libraries and also go easy on our wallets! The books can be in any format; physical, ebook, audiobook, and they can count towards other challenges as well.

My Goal:

I love my library and I get most of my books from the library anyway, so I might as well sign up for this challenge. However, I’m only going for the Overdrive Junkie Level, because I have too many owned books sitting on my shelves for a long time that are begging for me to read them!

Levels:

• Dewey Decimal: Read 12 books
• Thrifty Reader: Read 24 books
• Overdrive Junkie: Read 36 books
• Library Addict: Read 48 books
• Library Card on Fire: Read 60+ books

The Books:

I will be listing them here as I finish them. Check back often to see what I’ve read!

As of April 29th, 2024, I’ve read 42 library books, hitting my original goal of 36 books! I guess I’ll go all the way to 60+ books for the challenge!

As of June 30th, 2024, I’ve achieved 60 books, hitting my target! I’m considering this challenge accomplished, but I’ll just keep going!
