Dover Public Library's 2020 Reading Challenge!



Starting in January, we challenge you to read one book for each theme provided. Use our check list to keep track and see if you can get through all 20 books by the end of the year (not necessarily in the order provided). There are no prizes – just a fun, personal challenge for you. If you have any questions or need help picking out books to read, do not hesitate to ask a librarian or check back on our blog for ideas. We love giving recommendations! Good luck!
