Read Harder Challenge

Open book with orange background

The Daniel Boone Regional Library is once again hosting a year-long program around reading through Book Riot’s Read Harder Challenge. Monthly, we will have meet-ups to discuss and socialize with other readers who’ve taken on the challenge. For the time between the meet-ups, there’s an optional Facebook group in which folks can share their thoughts and their progress. If you finish the challenge, you’ll have a chance to be entered to win a bookstore gift card.

There will also be prizes for those who complete the entire challenge.

Here are some helpful links to keep you reading harder in 2025:
