Kids & Teens: Take the Winter Reading Challenge & Win Cool Prizes!

This year’s theme is “Read for a Better World,” challenging youth of all ages to select thought-provoking stories that help us to better understand the world we live in.

Winter Reading Challenge takes place throughout the month of January. To participate, kids & teens (including babies) up to grade 12 must read (or be read to) for 5 hours (or 300 minutes). Keep track of their reading online through Beanstack or download their easy-to-use app. Don’t miss the fun and a prize for every completion! (En Español)

Share the Power of a Library Card!

As a library cardholder, you already know the many wonderful benefits of your free library membership. Why not share these great experiences with your friends & family in 2022?

Encourage them to “Take the #GetCarded Challenge,” so they will also be among the first to know about our thousands of free theater, dance and musical performances, events, classes, art gallery showings, homework help, adult learning, career services — and even more library resources at LVCCLD.org or in your neighborhood branch. And did we mention everything is free?
