MASS Center 4 the Book 2025 Reading Challenge

Join with the entire state for great reading prompts and the chance to win!

12 months of book prompt challenges

How the challenge works:

  • Choose a book that fits the monthly challenge.  If you’re stuck, consider visiting (or calling) the Wareham Free Library for recommendations!

  • Each month, after you read, fill out this form (massbook.org/readingchallenge) to tell us about the book.

    • Using our submission manager, you will be able to log in and access the entries you’ve logged throughout the year.

    • Dedicated readers will be invited to a year-end celebration hosted by Mass Center for the Book.

    • We will be drawing two names on the last day of each month to win a free book! Make sure you get those entries in before the end of the month.

    • If you read a book in each of the 12 months, you will be entered in a drawing to win 1 of 2 totes filled with books.

  • This is a FUN challenge and anyone can participate!  We'd LOVE to hear your recommendations here at the library if you would like to "sound off" about any of your choices.
