Lafayette Public Library’s annual reading challenge calls on patrons to read or listen to at least one-hundred books between January 1 and December 31, 2023, earning them prizes, recognition, and bragging rights.
Membership in this exclusive club is for life. However, prizes are only awarded when a member meets the 100-book goal, which can be done yearly.
Participants can visit their favorite Lafayette Public Library location to sign up in person. They will then receive a personal reading log to track their reading throughout the year. They can also sign up online at lafayettepubliclibrary.beanstack.org. Registration begins January 2.
Club membership is open to readers ages six and older. Members must read or listen to the titles themselves. Readers can sign up to join at any time of the year, but only books that have been read or listened to by December 31, 2024, will be counted.
What counts as reading material in this challenge? Paperbacks, hardbacks, large print books, graphic novels, eBooks, audiobooks, and eAudiobooks all count. However, magazines and comic books do not count. Only elementary school-age participants can count picture books on their list.
Once participants have met the 100-book pledge, they must go to the library to verify their reading log and fill out the Prize Claim Form. Members can also submit a photo of their completed book log to 100bc@lafayettepubliclibrary.org to receive their Prize Claim Form by email.
Book logs and a completed Prize Claim Form should be submitted no later than Tuesday, December 31, 2024. Prizes will be available for pick-up at the library location of the member’s choice.
