FAQ

How do I sign up?

There is no sign up form this year. Your first monthly entry will sign you up for the challenge.

How do I submit my monthly entry?

You can submit your monthly entry using this form. With our new submission manager, you will be able to log in and see all of the entries you have submitted throughout the year.

Is there a specific date I need to submit my entry every month?

You can submit your entry whenever you finish reading your book for that month, even if it’s past the last day of that month. However, to be eligible for the monthly drawing, your book must be submitted by the last day of the month. Monthly drawings will take place on the 1st (starting in February).

What if I do not submit an entry every month?

If you sign up for the Challenge late or you skip a month, that’s okay! You can still participate in the challenge and be eligible for monthly drawings.

What if I cannot find a book for a specific category?

Your local library or bookstore can be a great resource for you to find books that qualify for each category. Mass Center for the Book is providing book recommendations for each month that you can navigate to on the main Reading Challenge page here.

Can I participate if I live outside of Massachusetts?

Although the program will be promoted throughout Massachusetts, all are welcome to participate.
