Massachusetts Center for the Book Challenge

The Wilbraham Public Library is proud to partner with the Massachusetts Center for the Book for the 2025 Reading Challenge.

How The Challenge Works

1. Choose a book that fits the monthly challenge

2. After you read, fill out this form to tell us about the book.

3. Using our submission manager, you will be able to log in and access the entries you've logged throughout the year.

4. Dedicated readers will be invited to a year-end celebration hosted by the Massachusetts Center for the Book.

5. Two names will be drawn on the last day of each moth to win a free book!  Make sure that you get those entries in before the end of the month.

6. If you read a book in each of the 12 months, you will be entered in a drawing to win 1 of 2 totes filled with books.
