WINTER READING PROGRAM
Bundle up for winter and spend some cold dark nights with a good book or two! Winter Jackets, Anoka County Library’s winter reading program for adults, begins January 17th and runs through February 29th, 2012. Celebrate reading this winter by participating in Winter Jackets and add even more enjoyment to your reading!
Participants in Winter Jackets receive a bookmark, a Winter Jackets pen, and a short review form to complete about a book they’ve read during the program. When submitted, the review form serves as an entry into a drawing for small prizes. All library users age 17 and older are encouraged to participate.
To help celebrate reading this year, Anoka County Library will host programs with 6 popular authors: Monica Ferris, Kevin Kling, Terry Mejdrich, Larry Millett, Sarah Stonich, and the Hartless Murderers group (Brian Landon, Jessie Chandler and Joan Murphy Pride). These author events will be held on a series of Saturdays at 2:00 pm at the Rum River Library, which is located at 4201 6th Avenue in Anoka.
