We’re excited to announce Hoopla’s 2025 Reading Challenge—a fun, monthly experience designed to engage your patrons and inspire reading. Each month features a unique theme, paired with a curated collection of audiobooks and eBooks, making it easy for patrons to participate and discover something new. It’s also a great way to create a monthly reading community.
How Your Library Can Participate:
- Access Monthly Assets: Every month, we’ll post the latest challenge materials and social media assets in the Hoopla Resource Center. Access and download the newest assets each month and get your patrons ready to read.
- Promote the Challenge: Share the monthly theme and curated collection with your patrons via social media, your website, and newsletters. Keep everyone informed and excited for a year’s worth of reading with a community twist.
- Encourage Social Sharing: Invite your patrons to share their reading progress! By using #hooplachallenge and tagging Hoopla on social media, patrons can foster a sense of wider community based on a love of reading. Also, patrons who @hoopladigital or use #hooplachallenge might see themselves featured on our Instagram.
This program is a great way to complement your existing reading initiatives or serve as a stand-alone challenge. It saves you time and energy while offering patrons exciting, curated content every month.
Help us build a thriving reading community and provide your patrons with fun, new reading opportunities with Hoopla’s 2025 Reading Challenge!
