The FCPL Reading Challenge for May is to read a book published in the decade you were born or the decade you started high school. High school is right around the corner for some of you but for now you can complete the challenge by reading a book from the year you were born! (High schoolers can do the same or read a recent release from our Teen High Reads Newsletter!)
