Winter Break Reading Program
|
|
Winter Break is quickly approaching, and what better way to relax and enjoy your time off than cozying up and reading a good book? The H-F Library is sponsoring a Winter Break Reading Program to encourage everyone to read over the holidays. Students and staff who check out a book before Tuesday, Dec. 19, will receive a little holiday treat! After break, the library will also raffle off prizes for those who complete at least one book this holiday season. Be sure to stop in the H-F Library between Jan. 10-13 to fill out a raffle ticket with the title of the book you read.
For more info, please contact Mrs. Harper or Mrs. Rodriguez at 708-335-5560.
