What are your favorite books so far from the 2023 Illinois Readers' Choice Award Challenges? Visit with other readers while enjoying ice cream; then play some games to win a book to take home!

One lucky reader for each of the challenges (Monarch, Bluestem, and Caudill) will win a book from their list at the party!

It's not too late to start your Illinois Readers' Choice 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 and Bluestem and Caudill readers who read 10 books from theirs earn a paperback book of their own to keep!
