NEW READING CHALLENGE 2026
Who’s ready for a new HPL reading challenge in the new year?
To celebrate the library’s 100th birthday in 2026,
we’re challenging you to read 100 books
— individually or collaboratively — between
Jan. 1 to Dec. 30, 2026,
to earn an exclusive invitation to a
Saturday brunch
to be held after the final deadline, as well as door prizes
(to be determined) at the event.

Full guidelines are available on this post, and at HPL
Book trackers are available at HPL, and all teams/participant names/signatures must be on file at the library to qualify for prizes.

If you would like to participate on a team but
don’t know who to ask, leave your name
at the library
and we will help match you
with other community readers.

Happy Reading!!
