2016 I Love Libraries Reading Challenge


2016 I Love Libraries Reading Challenge is being hosted at Bea's Book Nook.  The sign up details are as follows:

It's no secret that I love my library and it's been a tremendous resource for me over the years, and not just for books.  For this challenge, use your library to check out reading material - books, magazines, any sort of reading material that you are allowed to check out, physical or digital.  The challenge runs January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016.

The details: 
  1. Put a sign up post on your blog and link it below.
  2. If you don't have a blog, make a dedicated goodreads shelf (or LibraryThing), make sure it's public, and link it below. 
  3. Any reading material that can be checked out of your library counts - print books, audio books, digital books, magazines, etc. 
  4. As part of your sign up post, briefly write why you like using your library - free books, internet access, a quiet place to work, whatever draws you to the library. If you don't have a blog platform, post it in the comments below.
  5. Write a review - 2 sentences or an essay, whatever works for you, but there is a minimum of 2 sentences. Not sure what to write? How about something like, "The characters were a delight but the story was slow and confusing. It was disappointing." 
  6. There will be a post each month where you can link your reviews. Each linky will run for the calendar year. 
  7. Pick a level from the list below. You can move up as needed but you can't move down.
  8. Books may overlap with other reading challenges.
  9. ETA Dec. 17: There's a goodreads group for anyone interested in discussing libraries or books or for tracking your challenge. The group was an outgrowth of yet another library reading challenge that has since ended but the group is still active. The challenge host, The Geeky Blogger, added me as a mod to the goodreads group, come check us out!

MY LEVEL - I am signing up for just insert IV - 50

The majority of the books that I read are borrowed from my library both in book and ebook format. My library offers a great selection, something to suit everyone.  I like to try and support libraries all I can as I believe that they offer a great service to the public.  We visit our library every week to return books read, talking books listened to, dvds watched and pick up the latest reserves.
