Introducing BPL Reading Challenge
Embark on a literary journey in 2025 with Burlington Public Library’s exciting new program, BPL Reading Challenge. Starting this January, we invite adult book lovers to explore an extraordinary world through literature.
Discover the Read Less Travelled
Over the course of 12 months, delve into 12 unique themes, each designed to transport readers on 12 incredible adventures that will challenge them in new and unexpected ways. Whether you're an avid reader or just looking to reignite your love for books, BPL Reading Challenge promises to be a delightful adventure.
Challenge Yourself
BPL Reading Challenge is not just about reading more books; it is about reaching farther, reaching deeper, and reaching into the unknown through reading. While participants get to choose their own books to read, the monthly themes provide an opportunity to expand their reading horizons by exploring genres, styles, and topics outside their usual preferences, and discovering new authors and voices.

BPL Reading Challenge is easy to join and take part in.
