In conjunction with the Countdown 2010 Challenge I'm working on, I thought I'd join this one since I'm at the library borrowing books for my kids all the time. The 2010 Support Your Local Library Reading Challenge is a great way to show my support to the library I use so often, and also will save me some money since I'm planning to read so many books to complete my other challenges!
I'm joining in at the Mini Level, which means I need to check out and read 25 library books from January 1 through December 31, 2010. I'll be keeping track of the books I read for this challenge here.
