We join hundreds of other schools and libraries across the United States as participants in this exciting event. We challenge you to read at least 1 hour a day starting January 5, 2020 through January 18, 2020. All reading must be logged online using Beanstack which can be accessed here: https://carsoncitylibrary.beanstack.org. Share your progress on social media using #WinterRead2020! One grand prize will be awarded per age group. The winner for each age group will be determined by an online grand prize drawing at the end of the program. The more hours read, the more tickets an individual will earn! You must read and log at least 14 hours to qualify for the online grand prize drawing.
