Will you accept the Quest?

Genre Quest is an ongoing, two-part reading program at the Huntley Area Public Library, beginning with Part One. It helps students explore a variety of book genres and discover new types of stories. A genre is a way to sort books into groups, such as stories with magic, stories that make you laugh, or stories about real people and events.

How to Participate

Students read 2 books from each of eight genres, shown below. They can complete the genres in any order, and classroom or assigned books count if they fit the genre. Any format—graphic novel, audiobook, or chapter books—is fine, as long as students read 16 different titles. See our book suggestion lists linked below to get started or ask a Library staff member for more suggestions.

Students track their progress on the paper log they receive when they sign up for the challenge. Each completed genre earns a sticker, and finishing the entire log earns a prize!

When students finish Genre Quest Part One, they can move on to Genre Quest Part Two, which offers new genres and a fun, out-of-the-world theme.
