Library challenges public to read 100 books

The Dover Public Library invites the community to participate in The 100 Book Club Reading Challenge in 2024. Participants are invited to read 100 books of their own choosing over the course of 2024 and to record their accomplishments in a reading log. The goal of The 100 Book Club is to nurture the love of reading in the community.

First started in 2014, The 100 Book Club has become a Dover Public Library tradition. A recognition reception will be held for those who complete the challenge. Membership is open to readers age 6 and older.

Participants can join at any time during the year, but only titles completed before Dec. 31, 2024, will count. Each title can only be counted once per calendar year. Paperbacks, hardbacks, large print, graphic novels, eBooks, audiobooks and eAudiobooks count.

Magazines and comic books do not count, nor do picture books that are read by patrons older than age 10.

Participants who have read 100 books in the calendar year must submit their reading logs to the library for verification. Once verified, these patrons will become club members and receive a club T-shirt, a membership card and an invitation to the DPL’s annual 100 Book Club recognition reception.

The club is open to all residents of the Tuscarawas Valley. Stop by the library to pick up a 2024 reading log. Call 330-343-6123 or visit www.doverlibrary.org.
