Winter can be a tough time. Make sure you are practicing some self-care. We are big advocates for dropping everything and picking up a good book! Check out our bulletin board in the library for more helpful ideas.
Snow Place Like Home” winter reading program Jan. 6. This is a self-challenge for ages 2 to 109. Participants are invited to read and review 10 books, from picture books to graphic novels, biographies, audio and eBooks, to re-reads of favorite books (whether or not they come from the library). Write a review or post a picture for 10 books for a chance to win a $25 Barnes & Noble gift card. Additional prizes will be awarded on your way to 10 reviews.
You can participate virtually on Beanstack at ontario.beanstack.org or at the library with paper reviews (copies can be found at the circulation desk or online at ontariolibrary.wrlsweb.org/programs). Questions? Give us a call at (608) 337-4651.
