Promote the Ongoing Hoopla Reading Challenge at Your Library
The Hoopla Reading Challenge is in full swing, and it’s the perfect opportunity to engage your patrons with themed reading throughout the year. Designed to spark curiosity and encourage reading across a variety of genres, this ongoing challenge is an ideal way to boost patron participation, especially during summer and seasonal programs.
If your patrons haven’t joined yet—or if you’re looking for ways to keep them involved—it’s not too late (it’s never too late!). Incorporate the monthly themes into your existing summer reading programs, seasonal events, or book clubs. Check out our curated collection of eBooks and audiobooks for each month of the challenge.
Monthly Themes to Spark Patron Interest
