Members and non-members could participate, with a reading log to track progress. The 2025 "100 Books Reading Marathon" ran over 12 months. Adults had a special participation category, and awards marked 25, 50 and 100 books. We were an official library partner for Neev Literature Festival Reading Challenge in 2024 and 2025. Challenge books were available through the library. The 2025 NLF challenge ran over 3 months. Our library educators also suggest books using reading age, reading level and interests. Some suggestions use checkout data, including follow-up reads after Wimpy Kid. These lists and partnerships describe their named editions, not a confirmed 2026 program. ## About Kahaani Box Kids Library We're the book lovers at Kahaani Box. Reading lists and human suggestions are ways we help children discover another story to try.
