# Drawn to the Library
Millions of people across the country visit their libraries every week. What’s the draw? Everything!
From young families stopping in for play and storytime, to students exploring STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) through hands-on activities, to seniors seeking tech help and everyone in between, libraries of all kinds help us connect the dots from one part of our journey to the next. Get drawn in with a great book and a lively discussion at a Library Book Club this month!
Join Our Reading Challenge
Have you signed up for the Jax Stacks Reading Challenge? We've got 16 brand-new challenge categories designed to get out of your comfort zone and try something new!

You can start and finish any time during the year.
You can keep track of your progress using a Jax Stacks reading tracker bookmark (available at your local library) or by using StoryGraph or Goodreads. Of course, one of the challenge categories is "A book read by a Library Book Club in 2025." So, just by joining one of these groups, you're already 1/12 of the way to completing this challenge!
