Massachusetts Center for the Book provided a 2024 Reading Challenge - Each month there is a theme - you choose a book to read in that theme. Their monthly challenge, after you read, is to submit a form online - simple, and fun. They will have prizes at the end of the year. If you are interested in this, go to the link for more information: massbook.org/readingchallenge
We have chosen to use this reading challenge to introduce a new reading group at our library! It's called, Let's Talk Books with Jill and Julie and meets the last Wednesday evening of the month at 6:30pm, with in-person and online attendance!
January's group had a great discussion, sharing stories along with their book choices - as the theme was to share - a book you read years ago that you may feel different about now. See the graphic below of some of the books discussed:
February's group was a little smaller, but we had fun coming up with as many titles with colors on the fly as an activity after discussing our books.
See the graphic below for some of the books discussed:
We would love to have more people come to discuss March's theme: A book whose protagonist has a different culture or lifestyle from you.
If you are interested - register to join us in-person or virtually (zoom) on Wednesday, March 27th at 6:30pm. Link to register: https://chelmsfordlibrary.libcal.com/event/11433878
