Dewey Dare 

Take the Dewey Dare Challenge! The Dewey Dare is a non-fiction reading challenge. We ask that you read 100 total books in the ten 
of the Dewey categories, reading at least two books in each category. These non-fiction books can be from the public or school library. We provide you with a title tracker to take home and record your books and a read-o-meter to post on the wall at the library to track your progress. Challengers who reach the goal of 100 books receive a certificate, a yard sign, and a Barnes and Noble gift card sponsored by Amplex, and their name is displayed on the Wall of Champions! 

There is no set start or finish date for this challenge...you work at your own pace. We are constantly purchasing wonderful new books for our non-fiction readers!    
 
You can sign up for the Dewey Dare Challenge at any of our three locations.
