Adult Winter Reading Challenge

Adults, it's time for the 2025-2026 Winter Reading Challenge! This year's challenge runs December 8th - January 17th.

- Pre-registration on Beanstack only runs November 1 - December 7. Any reading logged done during the pre-registration period will not count toward the Winter Reading Program.

- Register on Beanstack or pick up a paper tracker at any PCDL branch at any time throughout the WRP (12/8 - 1/17). There is no registration deadline.

- Read and track your time between December 8 - January 17.

Keeping the same format of last year, participants will have the opportunity to read and earn entries into our grand prize drawing that will consist of a Keurig Mini, a set of reusable K-Cups, and a reading journal to track your favorite books and reading trends in the new year!

This year's theme is Winter Birds!

Up to 105 hours read, per participant, will be counted toward the Winter Reading Challenge grand prize entries. Those interested in participating can log their information in one of two ways:

- Beanstack: Using Beanstack, participants will log their time read via the mobile app or online via a computer.

- Paper Tracker: Using the paper tracker (provided at all PCDL locations), participants will log their time read by checking off boxes for every 60 minutes.

** Please note, those opting to use a paper tracker must return it to any PCDL branch no later than close of business on January 17, 2026 to be included in the grand prize drawing.

The Grand Prize Drawing will be held January 20, 2026.

Please contact the library with questions or for more details at 740-342-4194 ext. 123 or by emailing reference@pcdl.org.
