Every year, some folks choose a new year to develop new habits. Those can include desiring to drink more water, meditate, get outside every day, and of course, read more. As part of an ongoing effort by the CSW Library to engage our readers--as well as foster a love of reading in our not so inclined to read population--we introduce the 2023 CSW Library Reading Challenge.
This list is meant to not only provide a challenge to our seasoned readers, but to spark interest in those that maybe want to pick up more stories this year. Additionally, maybe your advisory group wants to get involved. Members choose which months they want to read and share the reading challenge burden or agree to read a book each month together, as examples.
Can you, or your advisory, complete the challenge?Â
If you document your reads this year and complete this list, prizes await.
Stop by the circulation desk in the library to pick up a reading tracker if you like to keep it analog!
