Welcome to Howard County Library System’s third annual Reading Challenge!  

In Howard County, people are the heart of our library system. We are a space where everyone is welcomed in to learn, grow, and connect. We want to see you achieve your goals, hone new skills, find joy in the pages of a good book, and explore the world (and beyond!) through our collection.  Thank you for being a part of our community!

Our team has put our heads together to develop 14 unique reading challenges and complimentary reading recommendations, or you can come up with your own. Set your own pace and create your own experience - complete these challenges in any order that you wish, skip ones that don’t resonate with you, or repeat ones that you really enjoyed!  Read any way that you wish: physical in-your-hand books, audiobooks, ebooks, and graphic novels all count to your goal.
