How many books can Evansville and Vanderburgh County read in a year?

EVPL wants to find out! By participating in our Annual Reading Challenge, you’ll be part of a larger community of readers who are reading for pleasure, learning, or both.

This year’s theme encourages you to ignite your curiosity and love for books.

How it works

  • Pick up a log at any EVPL location. (Or print your own!)
  • Use the log to record books you read, and then cut out and drop off your entry slip at any EVPL location by the end of each month.
  • Prize winners in each age category, at each location, will be drawn and notified each month. (See some of the prizes below!)

Remember…ALL reading counts, whether you’re reading print or eBooks, reading to someone else, or listening to an audiobook.
