Beginning this month, the seven libraries in Horsham district have thrown out a challenge to readers of all ages as part of the district`s Year of Culture. If you`re looking to kick start a reading habit, get out of a reading rut or connect with fellow readers this is for you. January`s challenge is read a novel based on a real person or event
You can sign up by popping into or calling Horsham, Storrington, Henfield, Steyning, Billingshurst, Pulborough or Southwater library (details here).
The rest of the year`s challenges are:

• March: read a collection of short stories
• April: read a book under 150 pages
• May: read a book that was banned at some point
• June: read a translated book

Every month, the libraries will be posting lists of recommended reads and book reviews for books that fit the themes on their reading challenge blog. Sign up at your local library and follow the action on Facebook and Twitter (#HorshamDistrictReadingChallenge).
