This and that

We're nearly two months into the 50 Book Challenge now, and things are moving along smoothly. More than 300 people registered for the challenge. Most of them are from the area, but there are also people from Cambridge, Auburn and Falmouth registered. Two people have actually completed it already. We expect within the next month to start seeing that number rise.

You've been promised goodies, and so goodies you shall receive. The prizes for meeting the challenge are a book light, and a book bag. The book bag is red with black handles, and is roomy enough to carry a good supply of reading material. The book light is small but bright, and folds flat for easy storage in the book bag's pocket. Both have been librarian tested. We think you'll be pleased.

Of course, meeting the challenge is reward enough. It's an accomplishment in itself. Even if you don't read 50 books, you've rewarded yourself with hours of reading time. This is why this is a challenge, not a contest. The process is the most important thing.

So keep on reading. That goal is getting closer all the time.
