2025 Winter Reading Challenge
Ready, set, READ! We encourage readers of all ages to challenge themselves to become reading machines this winter. From Jan. 1-31, the Andover Public Library is participating in “Be a Reading Machine,” a reading challenge sponsored by Beanstack and Baker & Taylor. We challenge our community to read and log as much as they can during the challenge. For logging your minutes read, you will earn fun, new badges. The top-performing libraries and schools will even win special prizes.
Join the challenge on Beanstack to get started reading.
