Winter Reading Program 2013

Pipestone County Star – 12-20-12

“Hot Reads for Cold Nights: Connecting Minnesota Writers and Minnesota Readers” Winter Reading program begins on January 1^st, 2013!!

Your public library and the Plum Creek Library System have teamed up once again for a chance for you to win great prizes just by reading, which everyone wants to do in the winter anyway, right?  The more you read, the greater your chances for these HOT prizes.  Simply keep a reading log and punch card and when the card is full, turn it in at the circulation desk for an awesome prize. Prizes this year include the fabulous mugs for hot tea while reading (they are dark blue and white this year), really nice post-it note sets that are great in library bags or purses, and chocolate bars.  How can you go wrong with chocolate!?

Meinders Library has never won the participation trophy which is awarded for the library with the most participating readers.  We should try for it this year!!  Tell all your friends to come and get signed up and let’s make this the best Winter Reading Program we’ve ever had!  The program doesn’t end until march 31^st, so there is a lot of time to participate.

This winter reading program is funded in part or in whole with money from the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008, which dedicated funding to preserve Minnesota’s arts and cultural heritage.
