This program is designed to help children read 1,000 books before they enter kindergarten and encourage life-long reading habits. Once you've earned enough points you'll receive a completion certificate you can print and share!

As part of the Library's #WPFreedomtoRead year-long celebration, adults and teens (ages 13+) are invited to take part in the #WPFreedomtoRead Challenge!

Read books that have been challenged, censored or banned, record your reading and write a short review or comment.  Provide a brief description of the book and then tell us what you thought of it.

Throughout the Challenge participants will win prizes.  Every book read provides you an entry into raffles throughout the Challenge and entries to the Challenge Grand Prizes in September 2023.

You can find a list of banned book titles offered through the Library's Libby app here. There are more titles available in print within the Library. Please reach out to staff at 422-1400 for more information.
