Read Books, Win Prizes!

The Findlay-Hancock County Public Library encourages readers of all ages to join the winter fun and sign up for WinterREAD at findlaylibrary.readsquared.com beginning January 5. The program runs through January 31.

WinterREAD registration is open to all ages, infant through adult. This winter, the library is again using an online platform, READsquared, for participants to keep track of their reading progress. If you prefer not to track your reading online, there will be paper forms available at the library to log reading progress.

Families are invited to join in reading together, (maybe challenge another family member to a reading contest!) and to attend all of the wonderful programs we have to offer. Please check our calendar for more program information.

Be sure to check the library’s Facebook page for updates, surprises, and entertaining WinterREAD fun. For more information, please call the library at 419-422-1712.

We would like to thank the Friends of the Library for sponsoring all of the wonderful prizes for WinterREAD.
