Hear two of the Monarch List nominees read aloud and then enjoy some hands-on fun.
Join the Library's Monarch 2025 Reading Challenge! Sign up and track the books you read for the challenge using the Beanstack app (iOS/Google Play) or website. Prefer to keep track on paper? Pick up a log at either library location. Monarch readers who read all 20 books from their list earn a paperback book of their own to keep!
