Impressive Results
Every summer, Nashville shows a lot of enthusiasm for logging at least 600 minutes to complete the challenge.
This year was no exception.
Nearly 7,500 people signed up for this year’s challenge, racking up 13,384,004 minutes spent reading in total. Of those registered, nearly 3,500 completed the challenge.
We also saw standout results across our age categories. Adult readers took top billing this year, with 1,318 completing the challenge, followed closely by our K-6 readers, with 1,082 completions.
Meanwhile, readers who call our Edmondson Pike location home contributed the most minutes logged, with 2,245,206 in total.
And finally, three participants, one for each age group, were drawn at random from a list of those who read at least 600 minutes this summer. For their efforts, we’re giving them gift cards for shopping sprees at McKay’s, The Bookshop in East Nashville, Fairytales Bookstore, and Parnassus Books.
This year’s winners are Shen R. (Bordeaux - Kids) , Juliana A. (Edmondson Pike - Teens), and Amanda R. (Richland Park - Adults).
