Explore the wonderful world of books with the Nevada Public Library!

All you have to do is read a book from 12 of our 18 selected genre categories over 12 months and log your progress. There are also 6 bonus categories that will be revealed individually in January, March, May, July, September, and November. You can read books and categories in any order - there are no assigned months.

Books, audiobooks, and eBooks all count.

The goal is to expand your reading horizons, so a different book must be read for each different category.

You can always play catch-up! If you don't register until November, you can still read 12 books before the end of 2024 and be eligible for a prize.

Avid readers that read more than 12 books can qualify for different prize levels based on how many they read. Prizes will be announced later in the year.

  • Bronze Level: 12-16 books
  • Silver Level: 17-20 books
  • Gold Level: 21-23 books
  • Platinum Level: 24+ books

The contest begins on January 1, 2024 and ends December 31, 2024.

Tag us on social media or use our hashtag and let us know what you're reading: #NPLReads24. You can also share and discuss books or get book recommendations in our special Facebook group, NPLReads24.

Bonus Categories

Need an extra challenge? Every other month we will announce a bonus category in our private Reading Challenge Facebook group, on our social media channels, and on our website. Additionally, we’ll have a special display near our reading area with specially curated titles to help you find a great read. You do not need to complete the bonus category in the month it is announced.

It’s not always easy finding specific books, which is why we have worked to make it as easy as possible this year! Check out our social media for book recommendations, our website for book lists, or sign up for our brand new Recommended Reads email! Once a month, we will send you a list of recommended titles to fill out your reading challenge log.
