  Example- Both visit your local library, snap a picture and share it on social media tag us.   

Stack Saturdays- This can be done with physical books, your kindle/tablet or create graphics from covers.  You can also create the stack at your local library or book store and share a picture.  It does not have to be books you physically own.   

In picture challenges make sure you tag us on social media or email the picture to us at [email protected]
