Make the most of winter’s long days by joining Deschutes Public Library’s Winter Reading Challenge. The Winter Reading Challenge (January 1 – March 20) is your opportunity to explore new genres, read diverse authors, and participate in fun activities for the chance to win great prizes from the library.

Beginning January 1, adults (ages 18+) can sign up online via Beanstack to complete challenges, such as reading a memoir, choosing a book with snow on the cover, or looking up an interest fact from the New York Times with your library card. Get a BINGO to win a free book, available at all library locations. Participants who complete the Winter Reading Challenge will be automatically entered into the grand prize drawing, which includes gift cards to local coffee shops and bookstores.

“It’s a great time to think about what you’re reading for the new year and discover a favorite genre,” says Community Librarian Paige Bentley-Flannery. “Whether you enjoy the artful storytelling of a biography or relaxing with an audiobook, the Winter Reading Challenge has something for everyone.”

Share your favorite book with a friend and encourage them to sign up for the Winter Reading Challenge to track reading milestones and earn great prizes from the library.

“This is the third year we’ve hosted the Winter Reading Challenge and we appreciate all the ways it brings the community together,” said Paige “We enjoy partnering with local businesses to offer fabulous prizes to winners at the end of the challenge, and a free book to anyone that completes a BINGO.”

We can’t wait to hear what new genres and books you’re diving into head-first. Join the conversation online and get excited for the Winter Reading Challenge using #DPLWinterRead.
