Winter Reading is here, and there’s Snow Much to Read!
Bundle up and get ready to chill out with a good book—or an audiobook, a board game, a library adventure, or even a movie! From Dec. 6 through Jan. 31, readers of all ages can join in this eight-week celebration of literacy.
It all begins with Santa Saturday on Dec. 6, the perfect time to sign up and grab your Winter Reading Bingo Card.
How It Works:
Not only can you sign up in person, but you can also sign up online and track your progress digitally throughout the challenge. Participate from anywhere—at home, on vacation, or right inside the library. Complete one fun activity each day and check it off on your Bingo card. When you finish five in a row, across, down, or diagonal — you’ve got a BINGO! Earn up to 5 raffle tickets per card.
