Winter Reading Challenge logo

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.
