Winter Reading Program for adults, teens & kids in February

Earn a free book for yourself or to donate to a local school:

Whether you prefer to snuggle in a warm blanket with a chilling mystery or hibernate until spring with a sunny gardening guide, you can earn a free book by completing a few simple challenges in the annual Winter Reading Program during February at the Wells County Public Library. This year the program celebrates the 2010 Olympics with “Go for the Gold!”. Check out these programs for adults, teens and children and sign up to play along in February.


Adults & Teens Bingo:
Play WCPL Bingo and “Go for the Gold!”. Adults and teens should stop by the library to pick up a special bingo card. Each square offers an interesting challenge to complete during the month of February. Complete the challenges to get four down, across, or diagonally or four corners. After successfully completing the program you may select a book for yourself OR you can donate a book to one of the four elementary schools in Wells County. Forms and rules will be available on February 1, 2010 at the main library or at the Ossian Branch.


Kids & families build a snowman:
Families with children will work together to earn a keepsake book during the Winter Reading Program. This multigenerational program encourages families to read together or separately as a team to complete the easy challenge. Receive hot chocolate just for signing up and then read to “build a snowman”. Forms and rules will be available on February 1, 2010 in the children’s room at the main library or at the Ossian Branch.
