Winter Reading Challenge
Introducing our Winter Reading Challenge!  We hope this is just the thing to help keep those winter blues away.  The Reading Challenge will begin on January 16 and run through March 17th.  The basic idea is that we will provide 16 prompts and once you have completed a prompt, you will have earned one entry into the prize drawing at the end of the challenge.  A couple examples of the prompts include: Read a classic, Read a book that takes place anywhere BUT the United States, Read a book with a green cover, and one free entry for bringing a food donation to the Friday Food Backpack Program.  Participants need only be an independent reader with an active library card to be eligible for prizes.  There will be multiple winners, thanks to the generosity of the Friends of the Library.  Please see us at the Main Desk for more information and to sign up for the Winter Reading Challenge!
