Our annual Winter Reading Program begins on Dec. 1 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.
“Our winter reading program is all about reading for fun. It’s an invitation for community members of all ages to make time to read. We want to foster a culture of reading for all, whether that’s with a book, an audiobook, or even a magazine. Join us!” said Alicia O’Dell, Adult Services Manager.
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.
Cualquiera que alcance su objetivo de lectura utilizando el registro de lectura en papel recibirá un pequeño premio. Los participantes en línea ganarán boletos de rifa digitales para participar en sorteos de premios.
Otro objetivo del programa es inspirar la lectura a toda la comunidad. Cada ubicación de las Bibliotecas NCW establecerá un objetivo de lectura específico para la comunidad. Cada sucursal contará con un termómetro de lectura grande para realizar un seguimiento visual de cuántos libros ha leído cada uno. Cualquiera puede pasar por su biblioteca local para informar cuántos libros ha leído y ayudar a su comunidad a alcanzar su objetivo.
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.
Pick up a reading log from any of our 30 branches or the Bookmobile. Or sign up online at starting Dec. 1.
