The Cal State East Bay Libraries invites the campus community (students, staff, faculty, and administrators) to join our inaugural campus-wide Reading Challenge. Follow the steps below to participate!  

Step 1: Read (or listen to) a book! 
Choose fiction, nonfiction, a graphic novel/comic book, an audiobook… whatever you will enjoy! 

Step 2: Tell us about it!
Fill out our Reading Challenge Google form (click the link or fill out the form that is embedded below) for each book you read/listen to. Each form submission is an entry into our weekly drawing for a Cal State East Bay metal water bottle, and also for the grand prize drawing of a Cal State East Bay sweatshirt. Deadline to submit your Reading Challenge form is Noon on Monday, April 14, 2025. 

Step 3: Check your email to see if you’ve won!
Winners will be announced via email weekly. Prizes will be available for pick up in the CORE Library on the Hayward campus or by mail to home addresses. 

Prizes!
On Mondays (3/31, 4/7, and 4/14) during the first three weeks of the challenge, a participant will be randomly selected from the Reading Challenge form submissions for the previous week to receive a Cal State East Bay metal water bottle.

The week of April 14th, a participant will be randomly selected from ALL Reading Challenge form submissions to receive a Cal State East Bay sweatshirt.
