This year the library is doing its very first Winter Reading Challenge! Woo-HOO! Why are we doing it? Because we can! More seriously, though, aren't the post-holiday, colder, darker days of winter the perfect time to read? And isn't it a great excuse to read some of those books you were gifted over the holidays?
Our theme is "Bundle Up With Books," something that's so enticing to do right now on the sofa with a warm beverage, fuzzy socks, cuddly blanket, and flickering candle. Doesn't that give you the feel-good vibes and make you enjoy winter? The Danes sure have it right with the hygge thing!
For those of you who have done our Summer Reading Program, the Winter Reading Challenge works pretty much the same way. It's for kids, teens, and adults, and it counts if you read aloud to each other (for both the listener and the reader) or if you listen to audiobooks. You log your minutes (either online or in person at the library on paper) and get prizes for logs you turn in. Not a bad deal!
So, stave off those winter blues by registering for the Winter Reading Challenge (https://fairchildafblibrary.beanstack.org/) and get reading! The program runs now through January 31. Start your New Year right with books and fun!
Wishing you a winter and whole year of good reads from the perch.
