We've all heard of a kid's reading challenge. It's pretty common and very important to get kids off of the screens and into a book.

To many parents and guardians, THAT'S THE CHALLENGE!

Reading can be boring to a child, but to a child whose imagination is firing on all cylinders, it can be better than anything ever replicated in a movie or a video game!

On the flip side, a reading challenge for adults seems like an everyday battle.

Finding 5 minutes to kick back and do nothing but catch up on a story, is a task and challenge.

The Yakima Valley Libraries know that, and they are giving adults 18 and older some incentives to rise to those challenges!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Our libraries are one of the last truly amazing treasures in our society, and the Yakima Valley Libraries are once again showing how spectacular they are!
