NEW in the Library!A chilly evening calls for a hot drink, a warm blanket, and a good book. Cozy up this winter with our "Caught Read-Handed" Mystery Reading Challenge, where the only mystery is whether you'll be able to read 500 minutes during the month of December. Choose a cute cozy or a spine-tingling psychological thriller, as long as it's a mystery, it counts! And this challenge is for all ages, so dust off that copy of Who Took My Hat? and let the little ones participate, too. Just remember to log those minutes and come into the library to claim your Mystery Book Bag once you've completed the challenge. Register here. |
