There’s Snow Place Like the Librrrary!
December 19 – January 31
Sign up for our all-ages Winter Reading Challenge beginning December 19 and receive a treat (while supplies last). Readers can earn tickets into the grand prize drawing for each book or activity completed. Those who complete the required reading will earn a finishing prize (while supplies last) as well. The first day to begin turning in completed logs and claiming your finishing prize is Monday, January 2.
To track your books, we recommend downloading the Beanstack Tracker app (iOS | Android), but you may also log your reading online or print a paper log (see each age group below). If you’re new to the online or app versions and have questions, watch this quick tutorial from Niche Academy on how to set up your Beanstack account. More tips for using the Beanstack app.
From December 19-January 31 we will be collecting new and gently used coats (all sizes) for the Blessing Barn in our lobby. Winter Reading participants can earn an extra grand prize ticket by making a donation (one of the choices in the optional activity).
