Each year, winners of the Read Great Things Challenge can opt into getting a prize to celebrate their accomplishment. Normally, the prize is announced in October or November. When we're able, we like to do a snack party and book swap to celebrate. 

The 2022 prize will likely be a fanny pack (or belt bag or bum bag if you're used to British English). This is not an image of the final product, but it will likely be similar.

Not your favorite but still want a prize? We have some prizes from previous years available that you can request on a first-come-first-served basis. Get to reading!
