Reading Road Trip
Travel the country…one book at a time! Pick up a map and start your journey across the United States through reading. The challenge: read at least one book from each if six regions to win a library tote bag! If you’re feeling adventurous, read a book from all 50 states to win a t-shirt. A book qualifies if: the author is from the state OR the story takes place in that state. Fiction or nonfiction both count!
All locations: August 1 – whenever you’re finished!
