Winter Reading Program

The annual winter reading program sponsored by the Plum Creek Library System and its member libraries, will begin January 1, and run through March 31, 2021. The program, open to ages 16 and beyond, is held every year during the winter months, and rewards readers for doing what they love to do: read.

Participation is easy: You can download the reading log below to record the number of books read. Then get set to read at least 12 books during the 3-month long program. Readers are encouraged to read as many titles as they choose, however in order for their reading log to be counted, a minimum of 12 books read is required. Titles may be in any format including audio books and e-books. Email or drop off your reading log at your local library.

Most Plum Creek Library System libraries offer patrons a prize for completing the Winter Reading Program challenge and various incentives are available.
