WHAT IS SAGES READ?
Sages Read is list of reading challenges intended to get our community reading and discussing books together. No matter your age, we invite you to join in and make this challenge something that works for you.
Whether you are a teacher sharing a read aloud in a classroom, a book group meeting once a month, or an individual that wants to read more widely, we hope this challenge is something that inspires you to pick up a book. If you have any book recommendations for the list of challenges, we want to hear from you! Share your book selfies with us on Instagram and Facebook and don't forget to use #SagesRead.

THE BOOK DRAGON PRIZE
Read 12 books that complete 12 challenges and we will declare you to be a mighty Book Dragon! You will receive a dragon's hoard (i.e., a sweet goodie bag) full of local and bookish delights.
THE BOOK MAGE GRAND PRIZE
Read 20 books that complete all 20 challenges by December 31, 2022, and you will be dubbed the mightiest of the mighty, the bookish-est of the bookish… the powerful Book Mage! As such, you will be endowed with a satchel full of bibliomagic (a.k.a. one of our famous Hartfield Hauls, a fun tote bag stuffed full of books and other nifty gifties).
HOW DO I CLAIM THE PRIZES?!
Book Bug and Book Worm prizes can be claimed anytime throughout the year. Just bring your challenge sheet or list of books into Hartfield Book Co. during regular store hours. A bookseller will check off your challenges, deliver your prize, and send you on your merry way to continue your awesome reading adventures!
Book Dragon and Book Mage prizes will be fulfilled three times a year (in June, September and January). Readers are encouraged to drop off their challenge sheets at either Hartfield Book Co. or Allerton Library as soon as they have completed the requisite number of challenges, so they can be added to the next prize pick-up. You will then be contacted with pick-up dates and location (either the bookstore or the library).
Questions? Don't hesitate to ask any one of your friendly neighborhood booksellers or librarians!
Happy Reading!
