Reading Without Walls Challenge

Gene Luen Yang, former National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature, designed the Reading Without Walls Challenge to encourage folks to choose books outside their comfort zones and expand their reading horizons. There are 3 ways this can be accomplished:

1. Read a book about a character who doesn’t look, or live, like you. Diversity comes in an assortment of forms – race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, geography, class, and ability.

2. Read a book about a topic you don’t know much about. Become educated on a new subject; whether it be history, science, sports, etc.

3. Read book in a format that you don’t normally read for leisure. Consider a graphic novel, chapter book, picture book, selection of poetry, or audio recording.

Reading Without Walls helps to broaden experiences and ideas. Will you take the challenge?
