Read250
Adult Summer Reading Challenge
Monday, June 01
All day
Celebrate America's 250th Anniversary and read through history!
From 1776 to today, our country has grown and changed, but one thing that has stayed the same is our love of reading! History to mystery, romance to horror, self-help to DIY guides, your Largo Public Library has materials for all ages in all formats to keep us reading for (at least) another 250!
Stop by the library to pick up your challenge card for the Read250 Adult Summer Reading Challenge, running June 1st – August 7th. We will read (and listen to) books from and about the last 250 years of America, 13 time periods that will have us travelling through our history. Need inspiration? Pick up the library’s suggested reading lists.
