May Reading Challenges: Celebrate AANHPI & Jewish American Heritage Month
Join us this May as we celebrate both Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month and Jewish American Heritage Month with two special reading challenges!
How It Works
Participating is easy and you can complete both challenges at the same time. Simply:
- Read and log 300 minutes during the month of May
- Track your reading in Beanstack
- Once you finish, visit any CCPL branch to pick up your reward
Good news: Any reading you log in May counts toward both challenges, so you can earn rewards for each while enjoying the same great books.
AANHPI Heritage Month Challenge
