2024 Reading Challenges - Book Display Idea

 One great idea for a January book display or a monthly series is to pick one or more of the many reading challenges that are out there and set up a display with suggestions for patrons to complete them. Avoid those bestsellers and easy options. Take a look at your stacks and pick books that need a spotlight. 

If you rotate out the display monthly, you have an entire year of displays already planned. 

You can create your own reading challenge, using prompts and suggests from your local community. But there are plenty of challenges already made. 

Some of the options are: 

BookRiot's Read Harder Challenge 2024 - this one includes a broad array of challenges and includes diverse authors and subjects 

PopSugar's 2024 Challenge is based upon 50 reading prompts. 

The Massachusetts Center for the Book has a 12 Books in 12 Months Challenge

The Louisville (CO) Public Library has a reading challenge with lists of suggestions from their staff. 

NoveList has a 2024 Reading Challenge that can be used with or without LibraryAware. 

Epic Reads has a 2024 Reading Challenge that would be great to use with a young adult reading group or program. 

Goodreads has a list of 2024 Reading Challenge Book Lists with titles to fill a variety of prompts from the 52 Book Club. This would be another option, especially for your online lists or blogs. Create lists to fill a variety of prompts.

Storygraph has the 52 Book Club's 2024 Reading Challenge which has booklists included. 

The Westlake (OH) Porter Public Library has created a 2024 Reading Challenge that could be adopted for your own community and library. 

Finally, ChapterAdventure.com has curated a huge list of reading challenges with options based upon genre, diversity and more.
