Library Challenge
January 1 - December 31, 2015
Reading Challenge Details:
I have to believe that most of you who read Book Journey
are in fact lovers of the written word.
A great percentage of you are not only readers, but reviewers and book
bloggers such as myself. And quite honestly a library challenge may not be all
that appealing to a book reviewer/blogger as we receive so many books for
review in the mail that there is no need for a stop at your local library.
HOWEVER, it would be remiss of me and perhaps you as well
– if we did not acknowledge the struggle most of our libraries go through to
show their worth in the modern-day of e-readers, and of course the ever-present
pull of all things that take people away from reading.
This challenge will be for you to get to know your local
library in 2015. If like our library,
you have access to on-line holds, I suggest you do what I do when browsing
blogs or other book sites; have the page open to your library reserve as well
and borrow books as you see the awesome ones you wish to read. I will do it.
Check outs count for anything bookish – books, audio,
even e-reader book check outs (yes, libraries have these now!). Go… meet your library again and fall in
love. :)
And of course.. there are fun levels of commitment:
1-5 check outs in
2015 – NOVICE
6-11 check outs in 2015 – ROOKIE
12- 16 check outs in 2015 – INTERMEDIATE
17 – 22 check outs in 2015 – SEASONED
23 – 27 check outs in 2015 – EXPERIENCED
28 + check outs in 2015 – GOING PRO!
