Hot Reads for Cold Nights 2018 started Jan. 2, and the prizes are Hot Reads mugs and book bags. Check out a book from Norwalk Public Library, read it, write a brief book report using the form you can pick up at the desk, and win a mug or a book bag. Anyone of any age can participate. The book reports will be in a three-ring binder at the desk, and 15 book reports have been written so far. Plenty of mugs are left, so the program will continue until they are gone.
