I'd love to see the group stay just as a fun way to see what people are reading. Doesn't have to be a challenge or official...just something fun for all!
Even though I got pretty busy this year and didn't read as many library books as I had intended, I love the idea of having this "challenge". And as Sandi said above, even just having the group stay here and share their "library loot" would be great.
My plan right now is to read more books off my own shelves. So far, I've only signed up for one challenge - A classic books one. Me, who could count the number of classics she's read on the fingers of 1 hand! I read so many library books in 2015 that I barely read any from my Nook/Kindle or freestanding shelves. Funny, that didn't keep me from buying more -- compulsive much? But it would be fun to keep this group intact, I'm sure I'll give in and check out a few from the library. Like the New Years resolutions to diet and exercise, plans can change!
I started out the year intending to use this group to help me use the library more. Not only have I established a full dependence on the library, but interacting with the library has caused so much more richness in my reading! Since the library was promoting National Poetry Month in April, I took on reading more poetry as a challenge. Now I've read 22 poetry books--12 of which were Shakespeare plays. I've fallen in love with Shakespeare! I also decided to not spend ANY money on books this year, and I've kept track of how much money I've saved--over $700! So I would say that this group has definitely benefited me immensely!As a new challenge, I joined another group for 2016. I'm going to be reading books that meet certain requirements on the list that this group was born from. If you like, check it out: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...
I love how enthusiastic people are about their libraries! Some years I have practically lived at my local library, taking advantage of different services and not just checking out books. I hope this group will stay active. I think I'mgoing to enjoy getting to know you all. BTW, I'm the person GeekyBlogger mentioned, hosting the 2016 I Love Libraries Reading Challenge, formerly hosted by Book Dragon's Lair.

Meet Bea! I am staying in the group and it will stay around. She is going to tie in this group to her challenge so there will even be a place you can officially join. You might even see some new faces :)
I am so proud of our library loving group!
I'll start a thread for the actual challenge but here's the link for the info and sign-up post if you are interested in joining: http://beasbooknook.blogspot.com/2015...Felicia mentioned that you all pretty much run the group yourselves. I'm not planning on making changes, or if I do it'll be later when I see how this group works and what you all like. That said, if you have suggestions, start a thread o send me a message on here or email me, beasbooknook@gmail.com
So…where do we go to track our acquisitions for 2016?
While I won't be hosting a challenge next year I am asking the person who is if they would be willing to have a goodreads group for those who don't blog. I will let you know when I hear back, if not I may just keep this one going as an unofficial challenge for 2016 :)
