Welcome back to the tenth annual Library Love Challenge hosted by Angel’s Book Nook & Books of My Heart.
Come Join The
2026 Library Love Challenge
We hope you will join us in celebrating and supporting libraries.
If you are like us; then you would like to purchase every book you want to read. And, well that can put a hurt on your wallet. One way to help lessen the hurt is to check out books (prints, eBook’s, or audios) from the library. If you do this, it will help save you LOTS of money $$.
Getting a library card in most places is FREE. So, if you love to read and/or listen to books then grab your library card and join the challenge.

The Library Love Challenge is such a staple for my reading goals! I’ve found that listening to audiobooks from the library is the perfect way to multitask with my other hobbies. Lately, I’ve been pairing my library listens with Painting4Real kits. There’s something so incredibly relaxing about getting lost in a great story while following a guided painting tutorial. It makes for the ultimate cozy evening of creativity and ‘Library Love’!
Harry, we are so happy to hear that the Library Love Challenge has become a staple for your reading goals! I’m the exact same way—I always have an audiobook going while I’m tackling household chores or blog work. It’s so relaxing to paint while listening, too. I’m glad you’ve found that same joy in pairing your library finds with your art. Keep up the Library Love!
So excited to be back for this challenge! I’m hoping to read more library books this year!
We’re so happy you’re back for another year! We absolutely love those libraries, and we can’t wait to see you rock the books in the months ahead.
I’m signing up again to do the Dewey Decimal level and I’m keeping track on StoryGraph, thanks for setting that challenge up!
Awesome! I’m so glad you your joining use again. I’m also happy to hear you’re using StoryGraph. I’ve seen a few more people over their, so I wanted to give that option for those that use the platform. Good Luck and Happy Reading!
Thanks for co-hosting this! I’m hoping to reach the Thrifty Reader level.
We’re so glad your joining us for another amazing year of supporting libraries. Good luck in your goal. Happy Reading!
I love, love, love my libraries! I shall attempt to read 60 + library books.
Wonderful!! We’re so happy you’re joining us in this fun challenge. Looking forward to see what you pick up. Have a wonderful New Year!
