What is winter reading all about?
The Winter Reading Program is an online reading program for adults. The program runs from December 16, 2019 – February 16, 2020. This year’s theme is “Branch Out”. The goal of the program is to foster a love of reading and promote the value of adult literacy. We are also collaborating with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office to offer a paper version of the program in an effort to encourage literacy among adults experiencing incarceration.
How do you signup?
