dlr Libraries Reading Horizons: Adult Reading Challenge

Bring fun, spontaneity and a spot of novelty to your reading over the next few months – because reading challenges aren’t reserved just for children! 

dlr Libraries invites you to broaden your Reading Horizons through our six-months long reading challenge. All you need to do is read six books from the following genres: 

*Short stories 

*Thrillers 

*Poetry 

*Sci-Fi & Fantasy 

*Literary fiction 

*Non-fiction 

To join, simply ask to be signed up for the challenge at the desk in your local branch. 

And to make it a bit more fun, everyone who manages to read across all six genres will be entered into a raffle to win special prizes! 

The challenge runs from 1 July to 31 December 2026; raffle prize winners will be contacted in January 2027. This is a reading challenge open to adults, over 18 years of age.
