Adult Reading Challenge 2024

Explore the wonderful world of books with the Nevada Public Library!

All you have to do is read a book from 12 of our 18 selected genre categories over 12 months and log your progress. There are also 6 bonus categories that will be revealed individually in January, March, May, July, September, and November. You can read books and categories in any order - there are no assigned months.

Books, audiobooks, and eBooks all count.

The goal is to expand your reading horizons, so a different book must be read for each different category.

You can always play catch-up! If you don't register until November, you can still read 12 books before the end of 2024 and be eligible for a prize.

Avid readers that read more than 12 books can qualify for different prize levels based on how many they read. Prizes will be announced later in the year.

  • Bronze Level: 12-16 books
  • Silver Level: 17-20 books
  • Gold Level: 21-23 books
  • Platinum Level: 24+ books

The contest begins on January 1, 2024 and ends December 31, 2024.

Tag us on social media or use our hashtag and let us know what you're reading: #NPLReads24. You can also share and discuss books or get book recommendations in our special Facebook group, NPLReads24.

Bonus Categories

Need an extra challenge? Every other month we will announce a bonus category in our private Reading Challenge Facebook group, on our social media channels, and on our website. Additionally, we’ll have a special display near our reading area with specially curated titles to help you find a great read. You do not need to complete the bonus category in the month it is announced.
