How to Participate
- Participants must be aged 18 years or older and have a valid Frankfort Public Library District library card.

- The Reading Log has 12 badges, each representing a different region of the world.
- To earn a badge, you must read a book that is set in that region, features characters from that region, or was written by a person from that region. Please click the links below to view suggested titles for each badge.
- When you finish reading a book, write the title under the corresponding badge on your Reading Log.
