Readers

WV Reads 150 is a  year-long reading initiative that encourages West Virginians to read 150 books in any format (printed book, e-book, downloadable text, etc.) from any source, during the course of 2013, West Virginia’s sesquicentennial year.  Books can be on any topic, fiction or non-fiction; they must be read between January 1 and December 31, 2013.

Readers can read 150 books individually, or create teams to read 150 books collectively.  Libraries across West Virginia are encouraged to form teams to compete.  Teams, which can have up to 15 members, must choose a name and select a leader to keep track of the books read by team members.

All ages and groups can participate – friends, coworkers, book clubs, classmates, seniors, etc.  If children are too young to read on their own, kids can have their parents read to them.  Families can use their Summer Reading Program reading toward their West Virginia Reads 150 tally.
