Welcome back to the ninth annual Library Love Challenge hosted by Angel’s Book Nook & Books of My Heart.
Come Join The
2025 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, ebooks, 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 DEETS:
❤️❤️ This year we’re changing things up. The challenge will be in three semesters. What this means is more giveaway’s along with the Mini-Challenges throughout the year and the End-of-Year Check In. You can join 1 or more semesters and participate in as many Mini-Challenges as you like. The Audiobook Challenge will be June 1 – July 31. The Library Bingo (with our COYER friends) will run September 1 – October 31. It’s up to you how much you participate and you can join anytime! The SIGN-UP will remain open until Dec. 2nd, 2025. ❤️❤️
➜ Winter Semester: Jan. 1st, 2025 – April 30th, 2025
➜ Summer Semester: May 1st, 2025 – Aug. 31st, 2025
➜ Autumn Semester: Sept. 1st, 2025 – Dec. 31st, 2025
❤️ The goal is to find your love of your local library and to read at least twelve (12) books from the library, but you can read more. While twelve is the minimum; there is no maximum limit.
❤️ Any format will work for this challenge (prints, eBook’s, or audios) as long as you checked it out from the library, it counts.
❤️ Books can be any genre (fiction, nonfiction, romance, fantasy, mystery, thriller, horror, etc.).
❤️ Crossovers from other reading challenges are allowed, including re-reads. The goal is to support your local library and save money.
❤️ (Optional) Reviews: Write a review to enter the giveaway – 2 sentences or an essay, whatever works for you, but there is a minimum of 2 sentences. Not sure what to write? How about something like; “The plot was a delight, but the characters didn’t capture me.” “I enjoyed the story and really liked the characters.”
❤️ Please use #LibraryLoveChallenge when sharing your reviews, library pictures, etc…

I’ll be signing up again!
So glad to hear it.
Super! Look forward to doing the extras, too. Thanks for hosting, Anne!
Glad to have you join us Sophia!
I prefer the library over purchasing books almost all the time. Great challenge!
I love my library. I manage 1-2 books a week from the library. I shoot for at least 1 a week although I’m trying to focus on the books I own a bit more this next year.
First time participant here! I actually work at a library, so I am super-thrilled to see a challenge going around like this! I’m going to shoot for 40 books for each of the 3 semesters. We’ll see how it goes!
That’s 10 a month! If I didn’t also read books I own I could probably read this many. So glad to have you with us.
I’m in ! My library is so important to me. My goal is 10 books for each of the semesters for a total of 30. Thanks for hosting again!
That’s great Jodie. I read a ton of books from the library myself and so I’m happy to support them with a challenge.
Okay, signed up!
Great to have you with us!
I’m in again, despite failing miserably last year. Hope springs eternal!
Awesome! It’s a worthwhile and thrifty choice for a challenge. Libraries are amazing.
