BLIND DATE WITH A BOOK
Tired of the Same Old Relationships?  Need Something New and Exciting?  How about a blind date with a book? During the month of February, stop by and check out a specially wrapped book from our display.  Take it home, unwrap it, read it, and enjoy! If you don’t like the book, simply return it to the library, its feelings won’t be hurt.
If that is too “out of the box” for you, try the “I don’t remember the title, but the cover was red” display at the front desk.  You can see what you are getting!

ADULT WINTER READING PROGRAM
We now have 62 patrons  signed up for the “Let It Snow” adult winter reading program.  We’re hoping for more than 70 before the program ends on  Winners for the weekly prizes were Linda Birch, LaDonna Hall, and Cassandra Quillen.

TEXTILE EXHIBIT
You have one last chance to see the wonderful textiles now on display in the meeting room.  Exhibitors, please be prepared to show a photo ID to pick up your items AFTER February 28.

1000 BOOKS BEFORE KINDERGARTEN
Register your child for 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten. When you register, you will receive a reading log bookmark to record the first 100 books your child experiences
After you and your child  record 100 books on your reading log bookmark, return the bookmark to the library. For every 100 books your child experiences, he/she will add his/her name to our 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten progress chart! Upon the completion of every 100 books, you will receive a new reading log bookmark.
Upon reaching 1,000 books, your child will receive a certificate of completion and a small gift.  Any child that has not yet enrolled in Kindergarten is eligible for this program.  Count any books that are read to your child, no matter who reads the books: brother, sister, babysitter, or even a librarian at Circle Time!
