The library’s goal is to donate more books to hospitalized children through the Kate’s Kart organization.

The challenge is open to all ages and everyone who signs up receives a piece of candy. Those who read at least 300 pages will get a coupon for a free mini-Blizzard from Dairy Queen (while supplies last) and be eligible for a prize basket.

If all participants can read the number of pages listed in the chart below, the library will donate books to the Kate’s Kart program at the Bluffton Regional Medical Center. The numbers are as follows:

• 50,000 pages read — 25 books

• 100,000 pages read — 50 books

• 200,000 pages read —75 books

• 300,000 pages read — 100 books

• 400,000+ pages read — 125 books

Those interested in participating can sign up at the library, online at wellscolibrary.readsquared.com, or via the READsquared app.

For more information, contact the library at 260-824-1612.

The winter reading challenge is sponsored by the Friends of the Library and the Bluffton Dairy Queen.
