Our annual Winter Reading Program is entering its second month at all 30 libraries, the Bookmobile, and online. The goal for the program is to inspire and encourage everyone to read through the cold winter months.
Through the program, participants can set a personal reading goal and track their reading either using paper reading logs or through Beanstack, NCW Libraries’ digital reading program platform. Print reading logs are available at every library location. You can also download a copy and print it yourself.
Anyone who meets their reading goal using the paper reading log will receive a small prize. Online participants will earn digital raffle tickets to enter into prize drawings.
Another goal of the program is to inspire reading for the whole community. Every NCW Libraries location will set a community specific reading goal. Each branch will feature a large reading thermometer to visually track how many books everyone has read. Anyone can stop by their local library to report how many books they have read and help their community reach their goal.
Our community libraries will feature book displays and library patrons are encouraged to make their own recommendations and write reviews. NCW Libraries website and social media channels will also be featuring book recommendations for all ages throughout the program.
