It's hard to believe, but we're more than four months into the challenge. What's not hard to believe is that people have already completed it, and are well on their way to reading their next fifty books. One gentleman told me that he is up to number 83! That's impressive.
Reading this, you may think that it's too late for you to participate in the 50 book challenge. It's not. The flip side of people finishing early is that it's possible to read 50 books in a short period of time. The end of the challenge is still a long ways off. Think of how many books you could read before December.
On our end, we're working on a number of things. We're still waiting for the prizes for completing the challenge to arrive; we promise they'll be worth the wait! We've also contacted authors to make appearances and sign their books. And, of course, we're always thinking of ways to help you find books to read. Don't forget to look at our newsletter, Check It Out!, for reading suggestions and lists of upcoming releases. May's bookmarks will spotlight different countries, offering everyone a chance to do some armchair traveling. In other words, there's something for everyone.
So if you haven't signed up, what are you waiting for? Join the other library patrons, nearly 400 strong, who've already taken the challenge. And if you've finished your 50 books already, good for you! We're proud of you.
