Winter Reading Challenge

Do you know a child who may be tired of being cooped up inside all the time? Or new Winter Reading Challenge is designed to help.
It's simple: just pick up a log sheet at the children's desk. Your child colors in one numbered section each time they read for 15 minutes or complete one of the challenges on the back. Once the whole sheet is colored in, bring it back to the library for a prize!
It's as easy as that.
This challenge runs through February.
Snuggle up with a good book and get coloring.
(But, not in library books.) 😉
