Congratulations to our winners — and to every single club and person who participated! This competition was a joy to be part of, thanks to all you bookworms. It was a close competition from start to finish, with a strong final week that saw 141 participants from 30 book clubs cross the finish line. Bookworms showed up with reading buddy photos (montage coming soon), Top 3 Reads of 2025 lists (we're compiling a cumulative list — watch for it), and a landslide of thank-you notes and sweet treats for library staff (which were much appreciated). AND, more than 72 bookworms chose to make a gift to the Foundation during the competition — that's community in action. Happy library-ing!

Today is the final day of our inaugural book club competition, Bookworms on the Slopes. We have so enjoyed going on this journey with all participating bookworms - learning about your discoveries and adventures, getting great tips and enjoying the competitive spirit! One more day to complete any outstanding challenges and don't forget to submit your final points by 5pm today. You can find everything you need on the bookworms webpage (challenges, point-recording link) - https://boulderlibraryfoundation.org/bookwormsontheslopes/
One challenge this week was to tell us your Top 3 Reads of 2025, and we are compiling quite a list of titles that we'll share soon. What were your favorite reads of 2025?
