Join our all-ages Winter reading challenge! All you have to do is sign up & log your reading for a chance to earn some pretty cool prizes. You can register and learn more at the link below.
The challenge will run from January 1st, 2025 to January 31st, 2025.
Participating in book groups provides children with opportunities to interact and engage with their peers. They learn how to communicate effectively, cooperate, and collaborate with others. Through group activities, children develop essential social skills such as sharing, taking turns, and resolving conflicts.
We offer book groups for Kindergarteners, 1st graders & 2nd graders, 3rd & 4th graders, and 5th grade & up. Click the registration link to learn more about the January book choices. All books can be picked up at the Circulation Desk. It is recommended the book be read before attending the program.
