Adult Winter Reading 2019
Saturday, January 5th - Friday, March 1st

A new year means new books, new ways to read, and new ways to win prizes!  

To participate, read at least two books, including one online book from Biblioboard (use the website or app).

Participants will be entered in a raffle. Get additional raffle entries (up to 20) by reading more books (print or digital), listening to audiobooks, watching booktube videos, and listening to book podcasts.
(Bonus if you are trying a new format for the first time!)

Remember to log your reading activities by the deadline, which is 4:45pm March 1st. 

Raffle winners will be drawn at the final party on Saturday, March 2nd. Winners need not be present to win, but we hope you join us for the party. Pick up a log at the Reference Desk or download one here. You may also submit entries online here.
