February "Roarin' Reads" Blog

 


The Adult Reading Challenge for 2024 kicked-off on Sunday, January 28th. If you are interested in participating this year, details can be found at www.myDPL.org/ARC .

The theme this year is the 1920s or the decade that was known as the Roaring Twenties. Not everything you read has to be set in the 1920s, but most of the clues and tasks are inspired by life during the twenties.

We encourage anyone 18 and over who enjoys a challenge or just wants to jazz up their reading this year to take the challenge. See Rhonda or Stephanie in the Marketing and Outreach office to learn more or to sign up. Our schedule changes to accommodate events and programs, so please call 256-340-5780 or email us at stephrhonda@myDPL.org before you come by to make sure we are in the office to help you.

The February task for the Adult Reading Challenge is to read a Black American Poet to celebrate Black History Month.  Double points if you read a book of poetry by an author from the Harlem Renaissance. (Yes, you still have to read another book to complete the clue for Harlem Renaissance.)

Happy Reading!
