North Webster Public Library News
The North Webster Public Library is ringing in the New Year with Four Months of Fun. From January through April, the library has a full slate of contests and activities to keep you hopping all winter.
January starts off with Audio Book Month. Every time you check out an audio book from now until Thursday, Jan. 31, you are entered into a drawing to win a free CD player. The more audio books you check out, the more chances you have to win!
The Photo Contest kicks off on Monday, Jan. 21. Patrons have until Thursday, Feb. 28, to submit two nature photographs that they have taken and become eligible to win an electronic photo frame. The subject matter must be nature and you must have taken the photos yourself.
February is the month for romance and a fitting time to launch Romance Reader Month. For every five romance books you check out during the month of February, you get entered into a drawing to win a prize romance basket. The more romances you read, the more times you can enter the drawing and increase your chances to win.
Ladies have a reputation for enjoying to talk. Here is your chance, ladies, to be heard during the Ladies Shout Out. Throughout the month of February, check out a book, tell us why you love your library, get your photo taken and get entered in a drawing to win a lovely red purse. Enter as many times as you check out books.
More contests blow in with March including, March Madness for Men. The event allows gentlemen to be entered to win a duffle bag full of “guy stuff” every time they check out a book, DVD or audio book; get their mug shot taken; and tell us what they like about the library. March is also New Item Month when patrons are able to be entered in a prize drawing every time they check out three newly arrived items.
In April, the library will feature the Match the Author and the DVD Dash contests. The Four Months of Fun concludes with the National Library Celebration at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, April 18, when all the contest winners will be announced and awarded their prizes. All contest winners must be present to win.
