How to Join Challenges

Please Note: Some challenges offer pre-registration. Minutes logged prior to the challenge’s start date will not count towards challenge goals.

Manage & Switch Between Multiple Readers

Your account may have multiple Readers, if you have registered as a family or a group. If so, it is important to always check which Reader’s profile you are viewing before adding to your log.

In some instances, you may have multiple accounts for different Readers. This means that you may need to log in to each account separately.

Watch the videos below for brief tutorials on logging with different account setups.

Whether you are enrolled in a challenge or not, you can log your reading at any time!

Don’t forget! If you are logging Activities during SummerQuest, each library event or activity you complete counts as 20 minutes of reading. Be sure to add those minutes separately to your challenge log.
