2010 Support Your Local Library Reading Challenge

I've decided to join several challenges this year & thought that this would be a good one to do. I spend a fortune on books but I also use the library but probably not as much as I should do so hopefully this will encourage me to use it more & save me some money at the same time! It is hosted by J.Kaye and you can find all the details and sign up here

1. Anyone can join. You don't need a blog to participate.
2. There are four levels:
--The Mini – Check out and read 25 library books.
--Just My Size – Check out and read 50 library books.
--Stepping It Up – Check out and read 75 library books.
--Super Size Me – Check out and read 100 library books.

3. Audio, Re-reads, eBooks, YA, Young Reader – any book as long as it is checked out from the library count. Checked out like with a library card, not purchased at a library sale.

4. No need to list your books in advance. You may select books as you go. Even if you list them now, you can change the list if needed.

5. Crossovers from other reading challenges count.

6. Challenge begins January 1st thru December, 2010.

7. When you sign up under Mr. Linky, put the direct link to your post where your library books will be listed. Include the URL to this post so that other viewers can find this fun challenge. If you’d prefer to put your list in the sidebar of your blog, please leave your viewers the link to the sign up page. Again, so viewers can join the challenge too.

****You do NOT need to review your books. That is optional.****

I'm going to aim for the mini challenge to start with but may well upgrade if I manage to do this quickly. I'll try to post reviews for all the books I read here on my blog. There are currently 241 people signed up for this challenge - why don't you join us?

Check out reviews from other participants here

I'm getting on so well with this challenge that I've decided to see if I can mange to read 75 library books this year & I'm changing my goal to the Stepping It Up challenge.

November 2011 - I completed this challenge but I'm going to keep adding to this list to see how many library books I actually manage to read this year

Welcome to the Support Your Local Library Reading Challenge. I dearly love the library, so I am thrilled to be able to hang out with others who do too!

Thanks J.Kaye :o) I'm looking forward to this challenge, I don't use the library anywhere near often enough so this should encourage me to use it more!
