First visit the 2nd floor for goodies and gameboards, then head to the Makerspace to create your custom Reading Journal Passport or zine in the Makerspace. Weekly drawings - something for everyone.

Kick off the 4th Annual Adult Winter of Reading with us! This year’s theme is Winter Escape, and we’re celebrating with a library-wide adventure full of reading, creativity, and prizes.

Start in the 2nd Floor Adult Reading Area to collect postcards, reading journal cards, custom collectible magnets, and your official gameboard so you can begin entering the weekly prize drawings right away. Prizes include gift cards and fun experiences around the community, with something for everyone — history, sports, food, art, and more!

Then head to the Makerspace to turn your collected materials into a custom Reading Journal Passport or zine. No experience needed — all skill levels are welcome.

Enjoy snacks, crafting, collectible magnets, and help from librarians across the district as we kick off winter reading season together. Find your Winter Escape inside the pages of a great book!
