Welcome to Ultimate Book Nerd 2021 - Kids' Edition! If you can read 25 books, 1 in each of 25 different categories, between Jan. and December 2021, you'll be a winner! Kids ages 5-12 who read independently and can enjoy books at least 100 pages long are welcome to join. There will be 29 categories of books to choose from: 'historical fiction' to 'humor,' and 'something a librarian recommended' to 'something you haven't read before.' You can choose any 25 of the 29 categories and read a book in each. 

You're welcome to log your reading in ReadSquared, or come to the library and pick up a paper reading log. You'll be asked to submit your log at the end of the challenge to verify your reading selections and see what comments you might have made along the way. Each winner earns an Ultimate Book Nerd t-shirt to keep.

Are you ready? Get set! Let's start reading!

This program is designed for kids age 5 to 12 to encourage life-long reading habits. Once you've earned enough points you'll receive a completion certificate you can print and share!
