# Calling Library Lovers in Jax
February is Library Lover's Month - a time to celebrate libraries and the people who use them. So stop in and check out a book (or twelve). You might also consider joining one (or more) of our Library Book Clubs. It's a great way to meet people and get more book recommendations. If you're busy or just looking for more accessible options, we've got plenty of digital apps and resources like Libby, hoopla Digital and Kanopy that you can use from home (explore our Not So Secret Menu to learn more).
Celebrate By Joining 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! Just make sure it fits one of the categories! You pick the 12 categories that interest you most and just start reading. The challenge runs through December 31. 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! Check out our Jax Stacks Staff Picks to get started.
