2012 Reading Challenge
Join us in exploring the alphabet in books! Our 2012 reading challenge is to read the alphabet from A to Z by the first letter in your book's title (not counting a, and, or the). Or you can try reading from A to Z using your author's last name. Or trying reading backwards from Z to A any way you like. Reading logs are available at the Circulation Desk. How many times can you read through the alphabet in one year?

Please take a moment to read through our tips on taking care of your library books. Our goal is to keep all of our books available to you as long as possible. But we need your help to keep our books safe from water damage, pets and other disasters. Read more here.
