NORTH WEBSTER — Mark your calendars because starting Jan. 1, North Webster Community Public Library is excited to announce the first ever adult winter reading program.

Earn drawing tickets for great prizes by doing any number of the following activities: reading, doing word puzzles, completing DIY crafts and attending library programs. Participants earn a drawing ticket for every 100 pages they read, for every puzzle completed in the library provided “Challenge Packets,” for each DIY craft completed (also provided at the library) and for each library sponsored program attended during the dates of the reading program.

Participants have a number of opportunities to win prizes, as the library will be doing drawings during January and February, plus a drawing for the grand prize in early March. Registration for the adult winter reading program begins Tuesday, Dec. 27, so sign up early and start picking out the books you’ll be planning on reading in the new year.

The following activities are set to take place at NWPL. Attendees do not need a library card to participate in any of these events.
