Library Reading Challenges 2015

We are regulars visiting our local libraries each week to pick up reserves and browse the library shelves looking for new and interesting books to read and dvds to watch.  Browsing some book blogs I have come across several library book reading challenges which I have signed up to participate in this year.  Being that we are library lovers and I am always maxing out our library cards I am signing up for the maximum book limit of each challenge.

The library challenges I am signing up for are as follows:


Hosted by:  Sheila at Book Journey

And of course.. there are fun levels of commitment:
 1-5 check outs in 2015 – NOVICE
6-11 check outs in 2015 – ROOKIE
12- 16 check outs in 2015 – INTERMEDIATE
17 – 22 check outs in 2015 – SEASONED 
23 – 27 check outs in 2015 – EXPERIENCED
28 + check outs in 2015 – GOING PRO!
Check outs count for anything bookish – books, audio, even e-reader book check outs (yes, libraries have these now!).  Go… meet your library again and fall in love.  :)
For this challenge I am signing up for the Going Pro! level.



Reading Challenge Details:
• Runs January 1, 2015 – December 31, 2015. You can join any time.

• The goal is to read at least twelve (12) books from the library. Twelve should be easy, that’s one a month. While twelve is the minimum, there is no maximum limit. See the different levels below and pick the one that works best for you.


• Any format will work for this challenge (print, ebook or audio) as long as you checked it out from the library it counts.


• Books can be any genre (fiction, nonfiction, romance, fantasy, mystery, thriller, horror, etc.).


• Crossovers from other reading challenges are allowed, including re-reads. The goal is to support your local library and save money.


• To join this challenge, grab the 2015 Snagged @ The Library Reading Challenge button and post this reading challenge on your blog to track your progress. Please include a link back to this sign-up post so others can join the reading challenge too. You do not have to be a book blogger to participate; you can track your progress on Goodreads (so as long as you have a dedicated shelf and Felicia has created a Goodreads group), Shelfari (I’ve created a Shelfari group. You can join and post your progress within the group), or BookLikes, etc., for the 2015 Snagged @ The Library Reading Challenge. The point of linking up is to have a place where people can see what you’re reading.

Levels:
    1. Dewey Decimal: read 12 books
    2. Thrifty Reader: read 24 books
    3. Overdrive Junkie: read 36 books
    4. Stalking the Bookstacks: read 50+ books
    For this challenge I am signing up for level 4 Stalking The Bookstacks:  read 50+ books
