Teen Winter Reading Club: sign-up and read!


Winter is a great time to catch up on your reading.  Think about it: most people stay inside during the cold temperature months, so outdoor events are limited; and daylight is minimal, so relaxing in your pj's with a book is a common occurrence; and TV shows are on hiatus, so often there's "nothing good on TV" anyway.   All the signs point to picking up a good book at the library! 

At the moment, we have 18 teens participating in the Winter Reading Club... and we'd like to get more!  Let me explain just how easy it is. 

1. All you have to do is sign-up and you'll receive a free book (yours to keep) from a special cart of giveaway books. 

2. Then you read... you can read anything you'd like (the free book you just chose, a book from home, a book you had to read anyway for school, a book that you checked out of the library, etc.)  Any book you'd like! 

3. When you finish the book, stop by the Youth and Family Services desk and tell a librarian about it.  There's no catch, honestly.  We won't quiz you about it.  We won't make you write an essay.  Just tell us about it:  What was the story about?  Was it good?  Would you recommend it to others?  Easy.  (And if you haven't already noticed, librarians absolutely love to talk about books with people... we're an eager audience!) 

4. You get a raffle entry each time you do this.  There will be one randomly chosen winner at the end of January and one winner at the end of February.  (See prizes in the picture above.) 
    It's not too late to join!
