Extreme Book Nerd Challenge

The Extreme Book Nerd Challenge is a year-long reading challenge that encourages participants to read throughout the year, try new genres, and read subjects you wouldn’t normally pick up on your own.

Starting February 1, 2025, choose from three levels—Readers’ Dozen (13 categories), Book Nerd (25 categories), and Extreme Book Nerd (52 categories)—and track your progress on a reading log.

Complete your log by January 31, 2026, to earn a prize! Books from book clubs, school assignments, and other library programs count, too.
