Get ready for the ultimate reading adventure! Embark on a year-long BookQuest — full of amazing reads, exciting challenges, and epic story treasures!
At the start of the year, twelve titles will be revealed. You can read them at your own pace—in any order you like. One book, a few, or even all twelve—the goal is to see how many you can conquer by the end of the school year!
Read one book → Earn your BookQuest reading chart.
For each book you finish → A Book Sticker will be added to your chart. (Just fill out the BookQuest form.)
Read three books → Get a book/library-themed sticker, bookmark or other mini token.
Read six books → Choose a free book to keep from Cressida's special secret advanced readers' collection.
Read ten of the twelve book options → Win the grand prize....entry into a Secret Library Escape Room!
When does it end? Books need to be read and tracked by May 31, 2026.
Who can participate? BookQuest titles are best suited for readers in grades fifth thru eighth. Staff and parents are also invited to join.
Where can I borrow the books? You can borrow BookQuest books from Hausner's Lehmann Library, your local public library, as eBooks on Kindle, or even as an audiobook on Libby—wherever and in whatever format works best for you.
How do I prove that I read a book? When you finish a title, answer a few BookQuest-ions for that book (linked below each cover image.) Once you do, a BookQuest sticker for that book will be added to your chart.
