Support Your Local Library Reading Challenge

Our local library is just across the street and down the block a little.  We are there at least once a week.  Well, not all of us, but at least one of us is there.  We get farm fresh eggs from a lady that is largely involved there and that's where she delivers our eggs.  So often I will send one or two of the girls to grab eggs and books.  I give them permission to choose a few books at that time, but mostly I use our library's webpage and search site to order our books from our library system (many libraries in the area will send you books from their library), and they pick up those books as well, while they are there.

When I ran across this reading challenge, I decided that instead of ordering MOSTLY children's books (easy level) I would start ordering books for me too, and that I would actually read them.  Not just order, skim and return.  So, I am joining the challenge in addition to the SRT and RYOB Challenges.  I am joining the Support Your Local Library Reading Challenge at The Mini Level - 25 books.  With the other reading challenges I have I don't want to add too many more books this year.  If I complete all the challenges, that will be 50 books this year!  That's ALMOST a book a week, not including the books I already read this year.



Check out this link to sign up and choose your level.  You don't have to list your books first, but I have a start on what I would like to get from my library.  (Bold titles have been read, and completed for this challenge.)
