Winter Reading Program
January 1st through February 28th
All ages are invited to read “Books Like Us” by participating in our Winter Reading Challenge. We will compete against hundreds of other libraries across the U.S. in Beanstack's fourth annual Winter Reading Challenge. Sign up online or use the Beanstack app to track your reading progress during the month of January (our program will continue until the end of February). Top-performing libraries can earn prizes like author visits and new books. Share your progress on social media using #WinterRead2021. Those children (up to 5th grade) who complete the challenge will be invited to our socially distanced Seussabration to celebrate.
