Winter Reading Programs...

are here!! We have two winter reading programs currently going on here at HPL. And by george, you should be really excited about them...because we certainly are!!

Our Adult Winter Reading Program is called "Cold Nights, Hot Reads." It runs from January 21-March 3. This program is for those 18 years and older. When signing up, you'll receive your reading log and a free book of your choice from our secret stash. All you have to do is fill out a little slip for each book you read with your name, phone number, title, and a little blurb of what happened. Drop your slip in our little trash can "drawing bin" at the front desk and then sit and wait desperately by your phone for us to call you to tell you that you've won! Oh...you want to know what the prizes are? Well, after much groveling, begging, and pleading by yours truly, I managed to con Starbucks into giving us some lovely prizes ranging from a pound of their delectable coffee to mugs, etc. Yes Virginia, there is a Coffee-Claus!

Our Youth Winter Reading Program is called "Polar Pages." It runs from January 21-February 28. This program is for preschool through high schoolers. Stop in for your reading log and get started! For each hour read by independent readers and each half hour by read-to-me readers, you will mark off a picture. When you complete a level you get a prize! There are four levels--which means four different prizes! The prizes range from coupons to local restaurants to nifty bookmarks, etc. If you happen to complete level four, then you will receive a free book! That Alicia is pretty good about coming up with prizes and even better at recommending good books! So stop in and see her for more details!

Hope to see ya'll soon!
