Choose Joy @ Your Library

Winter Reading Challenge 2024
January 16 – March 30

Our Winter Reading Challenge 2024 is all about JOY! We have created a bookmark with seven reading prompts designed to help spark your joyful reading practice. The categories are designed to allow you to select books that bring YOU joy!

We are book lovers and book pushers here at BNL, so offering recommendations and having bookish conversations makes us positively joyful! We recognize that what brings someone joy is subjective and have a wide range of recommendations at the ready. So, if you would like some guidance – reach out!

You can pick up your printed bookmark at BNL or download a copy. See the link below.
