Six Book Challenge for Busy Adults - April - October 2012
Harry S. Truman said, "Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers."
Read and be rewarded from April to October. Reading rewards include coffee vouchers, iTunes vouchers, bookstore giftcards, a bag of books and dinner for two at a local restaurant.
This challenge is open to CityLibraries Townsville members over the age of 18. Members can register, and then login each month to go in the draw for reading incentives each month. Participants who read six books and add a review will be eligible for the final incentive. Reading rewards will be announced here after the end of each month.
