FAQ
- Can I re-read an old favorite or read a book more than once? Yes! Re-reading actually helps you better understand the book.
- Can I read picture books? Sure, we’ll count them if you are reading to a younger child, but try to challenge yourself by reading books at your level (or beyond) too.
- How can a textbook count? It’s OK to count a textbook, even if it takes you all semester/year to finish it. Just add it when you’re done.
- Do books I read for school county? Yes, they do!
- Do I have to fill out all the columns on the reading tracker? No, you don’t. Please track the month you finish a book, book titles, and a rating. The other columns are optional, but it is fun to see your stats change if you do put in the number of pages and the genres.
- Do I have us the digital reading tracker? No, you can use a paper reading log, Goodreads, or another app. You’ll just have to bring it in to show library staff.
