2026 Adult Winter Reading Challenge: Cozy Up With a Good Book

‘Tis the season for coziness. Grab a blanket, your fluffy socks, and your favorite warm drink or snack. Hop into a reading nook and sink into a good book. Adults, ages 18 and up, track your reading and activities from December 1, 2025 to January 31, 2026. Complete the challenge by reading four books, then stop by any library branch to pick up your free candle by Icarus Designs, or camp mug* and exclusive invitation to the Wrap-Up Party. 
We have six grand prize baskets, which you can enter to win! You choose which prize to enter your digital 'raffle' tickets into. You earn one ticket per book read (up to 20), one ticket for completing the challenge, up to thirteen tickets by completing the bonus activities for a total of 34 possible 'raffle' tickets. For grand prize descriptions, please see Beanstack or ask a library staff member.
