Statewide Winter Reading Challenge
Libraries across the state have come together to offer a robust state-wide reading challenge in February 2026. Visit a participating library to sign up starting on January 19. Throughout the month of February, log your reading each day to receive tickets to enter to win any number of prizes; from grocery gift cards, tickets to a show at the Providence Performing Arts Center, local gift baskets, and more! The more you log, the more chances you'll get.
Hear about the challenge, and what we've been reading, in our episode of Overdueing It: The Rhode Island Library Podcast, Read, Log, Win this Winter!
