Reading Resolution 2021 Banner

Kick off the new year by taking part in our Reading Resolution Challenge! Are you stuck in a reading rut? Do you want to expand your reading repertoire? Does reading the same type of books over and over again make you feel like you are stuck in a literary quarantine? We challenge you to read outside of your comfort zone!  

Choose your challenge!  We challenge you to:

  1. Read a book by an author you have never heard of 
  2. Read a book that is older than you
  3. Read a book based on the cover
  4. Read a book published in the year you were born
  5. Read a book of poems
  6. Read a book set in a country you would like to travel to
  7. Read a book recommended by a friend or family member
  8. Re-read a book you read in high school
  9. Read a classic children's book
  10. Read a biography or memoir
  11. Read a book by an author with the same first name as you
  12. Read a book on your "to-read" list 
  13. Try an audiobook
  14. Read a Canadian book
  15. Create your own Reading Resolution Challenge!

Let us know what you thought of your read and enter as many times as you like for your chance to win our "Get Cozy Gift Basket"! 

The challenge runs until Tuesday, January 31st.  The draw for the gift basket will take place on Wednesday, February 1st.  Fill out your online ballot now or drop your paper ballot at the Library.

Need help picking out your next great reads?  Email us or call 705-325-2556 and let us know what you like (or don't like!) to read and our expert readers' advisors will personally select books and place them on hold just for you! You'll be notified when your books are ready for pick up!
