Hey readers!
Spring is in the air and so are the proverbial April showers. Celebrate the new season and Earth Day with this month’s challenge theme.
April’s challenge is: A book about nature, the environment, or climate change
Hey readers!
As we get ready to turn the clocks ahead and count down the final days to spring, it’s time to kick off a new month in the Mass Center for the Book Reading Challenge.
March’s challenge is: A book whose protagonist has a different culture or lifestyle from you
Hey readers!
Feeling blue about the winter weather? The grass may be greener (or at least not covered in a layer of white) in warmer climates, but the yellow, pink, and purple of spring flowers is right around the corner. Keep all those colorful thoughts in mind for this month’s Mass Center for the Book reading challenge!
February’s challenge is: A book with a color in the title
Hey readers!
We hope you’re as excited to join the 2024 Reading Challenge as we are. You can learn more about the challenge from our previous blog post or the challenge website. Each month, we’ll be sharing some suggested titles on our blog, social media channels, and in displays at the library.
January’s challenge is: A book you read years ago that you may feel differently about now
The Ames Free Library is excited to be a reading partner for the 2024 Reading Challenge hosted by the Massachusetts Center for the Book. This 12 month, 12 book challenge features a different prompt for every month of the year. Participating is as easy as 1, 2, 3!
What is NaNoWriMo? An Introduction
Things have been busy since my last post! We made it through two heat waves and the library has been in full swing with all of our summer events and the summer reading program. If you’re reading this before August 27, there’s still time to log your reading and earn points to spend on raffle tickets (for teens and adults) or beads to design your own necklace (for kids). In addition to all of the excitement at AFL, I’ve been doing lots of reading and a bit of exploring.
