#Adult Reading Challenge
If you haven't joined the Jax Stacks Reading Challenge yet... there's still time (and plenty of cool prizes up for grabs)! There are still several months left and you only have to complete 12 of the 16 challenge categories to win! To make it easy, we've printed up Jax Stacks Bookmarks to help you keep track of the categories you've crossed off. Pick one up at your local library.
Get monthly Jax Stacks book recommendations to fulfill your chosen categories on our blog or by email or by requesting a personalized booklist.
