Winter Reading 





Winter Reading is Coming!

Winter Reading begins Dec. 1 and ends on Jan. 12.

 

This winter, set your own goal! What number of books is challenging for you? Write it down in a notebook or stick it on your refrigerator. Log at least 1 book in Beanstack by Jan. 12 to complete the challenge!

 

Children ages 0 to grade 12 will receive a free paperback book when they sign up for the Winter Reading Challenge from Dec. 1 to Jan. 12. Once signed up, go to the Children's Information Desk to claim your free book and to add your name to our Reader Wall!
