Get rewarded for reading!

How it works: Your challenge is to read at least ONE book a month. If you read more than one book per month, awesome! (Sadly, you don’t get extra rewards from IFPL.) You cannot work ahead.

Record the author and title for the book you read each month on   the Printable reading log or on Beanstack, then come to the 2nd Floor Desk to claim your prize. Limit one prize per book per month.

Items you can count: Junior Fiction; Young Adult Fiction and Nonfiction; Junior and Young Adult Graphic Novels; Adult Fiction and Nonfiction; and Large Print. Audiobook and eBook versions of these books are accepted and encouraged. All books must be at least 150 pages. Anything you read for school or other IFPL reading challenges (e.g. Summer Reading) counts for this challenge.

Items you cannot count: Anything else from the Children’s Department EXCEPT for Junior Fiction and Graphic Novels; newspapers; magazines; PDFs; websites; fan fiction found on the internet; books under 150 pages.

Participants cannot be enrolled in either of the Extreme Book Nerd programs and Turn the Page at the same time – you must choose the ONE program that works best for you.

You MUST have a current library membership in order to be eligible to pick up prizes.

Prizes are available until January 15, 2026.

Throughout the month of March, the Idaho Falls Public library will participate in Book Madness!

Book Madness for Teens and Adults

Starting March 3rd, adults and teens can come into the library and vote for their favorite book character in each bracket. Limit one ballot per day.

Use the ballot to vote for your favorite character in each bracket. Each week, we’ll count the ballots and advance the winning characters to the next round. Copies of books associated with the eliminated character will be awarded as prizes through a weekly drawing.

For the teen and adult program, if you vote for the character that wins the final bracket, you’ll be entered into a drawing for that book plus a Kindle Fire 7!
