Saddle up for a Readin’ Rodeo at the library this summer!
Since June kicks off our rodeo summer, and since it’s the June genre in our Bookworm Challenge, we are spotlighting western books in this post. Most books that we call westerns typically take place in the western part of the U.S. during the 19th and 20th century. [If you haven’t heard of our Bookworm Challenge, learn all about it here and sign up on Beanstack.]
June is the also the beginning of our Readin’ Rodeo Summer Challenge, which runs parallel to our year-long Bookworm Challenge. It’s easy and free to participate in both challenges. Best of all, since the challenges run parallel to each other, like train tracks into the Old West, what you read can count for both challenges.
While our Bookworm Challenge happens all year, our Readin’ Rodeo Summer Challenge is just for the summer, running from June 3 to July 28, 2024. Similar to the Bookworm Challenge, log minutes spent reading and complete activities to earn prizes! You can read more about it here and sign up for it on Beanstack as well.
Below, we list just a few of the many westerns you may want to read for the Bookworm Challenge, the Readin’ Rodeo or maybe just to get a taste of the Wild West.
