FCPL August Reading Challenge Update!

Submitted by Jeanne McMahan

Due to some issues with NoveList’s Appeal Mixer feature, the #WeKnowBooks Committee has decided to change FCPL’s staff and patron Reading Challenge for August. The NoveList tool is not giving any choices once a category is selected. Novelist has been informed about this, but in the meantime, this could be frustrating to patrons and staff. The other issue is that not all of the books listed are from FCPL’s collection, which might also cause confusion. Therefore, the #WKB Committee is updating the FCPL August Reading Challenge to: “Read a book from an FCPL Booklist”. Staff and patrons can use FCPL’s bookmarks or online recommended reading booklists for this challenge. This will have the dual advantage of promoting FCPL’s collection and booklists!

Thank you to Stephani Lindsay from Sharon Forks for catching this and for providing an alternate option! Thank you also to staff participating in the FCPL Reading Challenge, and for promoting it to our patrons! It’s not too late to participate and complete the staff reading challenge this year if you’d like to.  You can find the spreadsheet to sign up and record your books in the #WeKnowBooks section on SharePoint.  Happy reading!
