The Daniel Boone Regional Library is once again hosting a year-long program around reading through Book Riot’s Read Harder Challenge. We’ll have monthly meetups to discuss and socialize with other readers who’ve taken on the challenge. For the time between the meetups, 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 are also prizes for those who complete the entire challenge.
Here are some helpful links to keep you reading harder in 2026:
