Are you ready to become a Reading Machine? Wednesday, January 1 is the first day of the 2025 Read to Feed Harrison County Winter Challenge! The challenge is open to all ages, January 1 – 31. The goal is to read 10,000 books as a community. If the goal is reached, Harrison County Community Services will receive $1,000 from Duke Energy, $1,000 from Lucas Oil, $500 from Caesars Southern Indiana, $250 from Eckart Supply, and $200 from REMC. Canned food will be collected at all library branches.
During the Winter Reading Challenge, everything counts! Books, eBooks, audiobooks, and magazines can be used from any source, both library and personal. Check out free books and audiobooks from Overdrive or the Libby app, and enjoy digital materials without wait times on Hoopla. Track your reading with Beanstack to earn badges and explore activities inspired by this year’s theme, Reading Machine! You are challenged to read at least 10 books in the month of January to unlock the badges.
If you have participated in a reading challenge with us before, you already have a Beanstack account. The library will assist you if you have any difficulties logging on. If you do not want a Beanstack account, the library will be happy to log your reading for you. Just stop in at any library branch to pick up a Winter Read bookmark. HELP READ TO FEED HARRISON COUNTY!
