It’s time for the Wilton Public Library’s annual Hot Reads for Cold Nights adult reading program. Use our simple form to review two books that you’ve read to receive a magnet. Review two more to receive a coffee mug, and review two more for a book bag. Our graphics this year are particularly cute; we know that you will love the prizes! Read six books before Wednesday, Feb. 28, to earn all three incentives.

Our homeschool group will meet at the library from 2–4 p.m. Friday, Jan. 12. Please contact the library if you are interested in joining this cooperative effort.

We have a therapy dog that works in our building that would love to be read to by your child. This dog is safe, certified and insured for working with children or adults. Call the library for arrangements.

We have preschoolers checking in on their progress for 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten. It is what it sounds like: a commitment to read 1,000 books to your preschooler before he or she turns 5 years old. Though it sounds like an ambitious goal, by reading just three books a day, you can read more than 1,000 books in just one year. So pick out some books and start enjoying some productive lap time with your child.
