Frequently Asked Questions
How do I sign up?
It’s easy! Use the button above or visit the Circulation Desk on or after January 13, and register to receive your tote bag and journal, and while you’re there, you can check out one, two, or up to 25 books to get a head start on your reading list. Alternatively, you can register on the Bookmobile at any of the Community Stops.
Do audiobooks count?
Of course! If it’s on the main floor, except for movies and periodicals, it is fair game for your reading log. Fiction, non-fiction, large-print fiction, audio books, you name it. Inter-library loans count, too! Basically, almost everything.
How do I win one of the weekly prizes?
To be entered into the drawing for a weekly prize (one the ten listed above), just complete a simple quiz! These quizzes are designed to take less than ten minutes to complete. Each quiz gives you one entry into the drawing. Complete each quiz for more chances to win!
How do I win the grand prize?
Each time your reading log is stamped (after reading five items) you will receive a grand prize ticket. The more times your log is stamped, the more chances you have to win the grand prize.
Is there a minimum number of books I have to read?
No. You can sign up, get a rockin’ tote bag, read three or four books, and then call it a day. There aren’t any requirements other than a library card. To be entered to win a prize, though, you must read at least five books.
When is the last day to enter the drawing?
The Adult Winter Read is from January 13 to March 16. You can sign up or enter the drawing at any point between those dates.
