During the months of October – April, teens are challenged to read 8 books from the following  10 categories:

    • Award Nominee: a book nominated for an award
    • Book to Movie: a book that has been made into a movie
    • Book with a Red Cover: book cover is red (or mostly red)
    • Free Choice: read whatever you want!
    • From a Library Display: a book from a physical or digital display at the library
    • IBOB Title: from this year’s Idaho Battle of the Books selections
    • Not a Novel: nonfiction, poetry, book of short stories, etc.
    • Published in the Last Five Years: published in 2017 or later
    • Recommended by a Mentor: read a book recommended by a librarian, teacher, parent, or another mentor
    • Saw it on BookTok: read a book you saw on TikTok

Register at the Mountain Home Public library to participate in the reading challenge. When you register, you will receive a tracking form, bookmark, reading journal, book tote, and a pin. Check in at the library occasionally to receive a new pin for each category that you complete. When they have completed the entire challenge, turn in your tracking sheet to the front desk to be entered into a chance to win a fun gift basket.
