Welcome to the PML 18:12 Reading Challenge
18 books. 12 months. Take the challenge.
We've compiled a list of 18 reading prompts (1812 Reading Challenge 2024). Consider this an opportunity to discover new genres, topics, and titles. We're challenging you to read from the 18 categories before the end of 2024.
Print the prompts and complete the list, one book at a time. Once it's done, it's time to brag. Send a picture of your completed list to Kelly at kgreenlee@cumberlandmaine.com. Or bring your list into the library.
Spread the word. Challenge your friends.
