Using Reading Plans
Join reading lists and challenges created by your library to stay motivated.
Types of Reading Plans
Section titled “Types of Reading Plans”Library administrators create two kinds of reading plans:
| Type | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Reading List | A set of specific books to read — either in order or in any order you choose |
| Reading Challenge | A goal to work toward — like reading a certain number of books or reading every day for a month |
Finding Reading Plans
Section titled “Finding Reading Plans”Reading plans appear in several places:
- Home page — Active plans you’ve joined and available plans from your libraries
- Library page — Plans created by that library’s admins
- Book detail page — A banner if the book is part of an active plan
