Season’s Readings is the library’s winter reading program returns in December 2019! During the winter months, the library runs a winter reading program for children, teens, and adults! Pick up a game sheet for your age group at the library, complete the activities as instructed, and remember to hand it in at the library by the deadline to be entered for a chance to win one of two prizes in your age group’s prize drawing. It’s that easy! Please see the appropriate age group winter reading program details below for complete guidelines specific to your age group.
This year’s prizes for Kids’ Edition are a Subway gift card or a Swatara Coffee Co. gift card. Prizes for the teens’ and adults’ age groups are an Amazon gift card or a Swatara Coffee Co. gift card.
Season’s Readings: Kids’ Edition is for children ages pre-school to 12 years old. Pick up a game activity sheet any time between December 10 and February 4. Read for at least 20 minutes each week during Season’s Readings–track your reading time on your game sheet. You can read anything– books, magazines, newspapers, or eBooks! The game sheet also includes fun activities to complete and track on the sheet. You can start at any time on or after the start date; however, we ask that only reading completed on or after the start date be counted.
