Home MenuWinter Reading Challenge
Sponsored by the Friends of the Carrollton Public Library
December 1- February 1
Challenge yourself during those slow winter months, when a good book can take you on an adventure without leaving the comfort of a cozy chair.
We encourage children age 5 and under to participate in our 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program. Research has shown that this year-long program has tremendous benefit for your young child.
