Winter Reading Challenge

This winter, the Boston Public Library is challenging you to read a book by an author from each of six geographic regions: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Oceania. Start reading on January 1!

You can pick up a reading log and limited edition Winter Reading enamel pin at any Boston Public Library location between January 1 and February 28. Be sure to visit your local BPL branch to mark all the locations you've read on their map throughout the challenge! The reading log is also available to download below starting January 1.
