2022 Summer Reading Challenge: FAQ

Do I have to do the challenges in order?

Nope. Feel free to tackle them in any order (or disorder) that suits you and only do as many as makes you happy.

 

When does the challenge end?

October 31 at 11:59 PM.

 

Who decides whether my submission counts?

We have librarians who evaluate submissions and communicate with participants. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, use the contact box. We are happy to listen and advise!

 

Does this book count?

When you think it does, use the "Why I chose this book?" section on the submission form to explain how it fits that particular challenge. Also check out the EXPLORE THE CHALLENGES and ADDITIONAL LINKS FOR FINDING A BOOK pages for guidance.

 

Is it my imagination or do I have to read more than one book for one challenge?

It is not your imagination! We have a three book challenge this summer -- All three books should be related. Could be the same topic or author or having the same word in the title. Any way you do it you'll need to read one picture book, one young adult book and one adult book. If you're stumped, start by reading any of these three types and seeing what you can find to match up with it!

 

Do the books have to come from the library?

Nope. Nope. No. The books can come from a friend, the store, the library or anywhere. It can be in any format (poetry, play, prose, graphic novel) or medium (electronic, audio, physical book).
