WinterRead2021: Books Like Us!

Books Like Us! - Youth Winter Reading Challenge

Start off the new year right by signing up for the 2021 Winter Reading Challenge and diving into a great book! Celebrate diversity and harness the transformative power of seeing oneself reflected in a book with this year's theme, Books Like Us.

From December 28 to January 31 we challenge our kids, tweens, teens & families to read at least 400 minutes (that's only about 6.5 hours)  and keep track of their reading on our Beanstack site at newtonfreelibrary.beanstack.com.

 Top-performing libraries and schools will earn rewards from Simon & Schuster, program sponsor, including book collections and virtual author visits.

Happy reading, Newton!
