The Greenville County Library System’s winter reading challenge takes a novel spin on board games

Read every day and complete side quests to cross the finish line of your game board as part of the Greenville County Library System’s winter reading challenge.

A modern library equipped with sleek self-checkout kiosks designed to make borrowing books quick and convenient. Four black-and-white self-service stations are lined up in a row, each featuring a touchscreen interface and a card payment slot. Beneath the screens, transparent shelves with LED lighting provide space for scanning and processing books. The bright and open library space in the background is organized with bookshelves labeled by category, creating an inviting atmosphere for readers. A nearby sign advertises a local book club meeting, adding a community-focused touch. Large windows let in ample natural light, enhancing the clean and contemporary aesthetic. The setup reflects a seamless blend of technology and traditional library services, catering to the needs of modern patrons.

Self-service check out kiosks are a real game changer.

Get cozy and get reading. The Greenville County Library System’s winter reading challenge (for readers 18+) starts Wednesday, Jan. 15 and ends Saturday, March 15.

How does it work?

  1. Pick up a game board log at any local library location.
  2. Move forward one space each day that you read + complete bonus activities to move forward extra spaces. It’s like Candy Land, but with books.
  3. When you reach your final space, turn in your game board to receive your prize.

What’s on the line?

  • A free pastry from Swamp Rabbit Cafe & Grocery
  • A winter reading tumbler (while supplies last)
  • There will be drawings for additional prizes when you hand in your board

You must be 18+ to participate. Explore the challenge page for the full list of rules + a list of recommended reads.
