Read with Northeast Neighborhood Library

January Theme: Set in Washington, DC

Read with Northeast Neighborhood Library all year! Every month, we will issue a new reading challenge around a different theme. Complete at least five monthly challenges this year and win a prize! 

January 2022 - Books Set in Washington, DC

While much of DC remains closed, books can help us explore parts of the city we've missed or even never been to! It is also fun to have first had knowledge of settings where stories we read take place. For January 2022, complete the Read with Northeast Neighborhood Library challenge by reading a book set in Washington, DC! 

Check the Northeast Neighborhood library for a display of books that fit the theme. 

When you complete a book, drop a slip with your contact info and the book you read in the Challenge Box by the display, or do so digitally by clicking "Register" on this page.
