If you haven’t joined the Winter Checkout Challenge yet, there is still time to earn your coveted Winter Checkout Challenge mug! The event runs through Feb. 28. Get started today!
You can participate by completing challenge bookmarks at any of our 41 locations, or from the comfort of home. The challenge is open to adults ages 18 and over.
How Does it Work?
- Head to any CHPL location and pick out a themed bookmark of your choice. If digital tracking is more your speed, you can also forgo the bookmarks and use Beanstack instead!
- Participants will get a tote just for joining! Pro tip: They’re perfect for carrying your winter reads haul.
- Each bookmark includes five activities. Complete four of the activities on one of the bookmarks.
- All done? Return the bookmark to any branch for an entry to win a blanket. You’ll also receive a Winter Checkout Challenge collectible mug.
- Keep going! You can pick up the next bookmark while you’re there to keep the cozy going and get more entries for the blanket raffle.
Pick the activities that match your interests! Themes this year include: explore, cozy up, relate, new discoveries, personal pursuits, and reflect. Once you complete a bookmark, pick out a new theme (or repeat the same bookmark).
Learn more at CHPL.org/winter.
Along with completing the bookmarks, mark your calendars for related events throughout the duration of the Winter Checkout Challenge.
