York County Libraries has launched a Spring into Reading Challenge for community members who want to see how much they can read now through Thursday, April 30. The challenge is open to people of all ages and is free to participate in with a library card.
Interested individuals may visit https://yorklibraries.beanstack.org to sign up for the challenge.
The reading event comes on the heels of the 2020 Winter Reading Challenge in January, during which nearly 500 York County residents of all ages participated in the nationwide event. York County Libraries set a local goal of 10,000 minutes of reading, but area readers far exceeded that goal by collectively reading 8,807 books and 423,326 minutes in one month.
"With more families at home, reading is a great activity to keep everyone entertained while practicing social distancing," said York County Libraries digital services librarian Katherine Dannehl. "Now is a great time to read the books on your shelves or go online to borrow something to read."
York County Libraries offers a large digital book collection through Axis 360, comic books through ComicsPlus, and youth titles through BookFlix and TrueFlix, all of which may be found at http://www.yorklibraries.org. Individuals with questions about the Spring into Reading Challenge may email digitalservices@yorklibraries.org.
