Adult Reading Program

Starts January 2nd through March 31st, 2010

You can ward of off the winter winds with the comfort of words by joining our Adult Winter Reading Program which starts January 2, 2010. It is all about sharing the favorite authors and stories you discover with your friends and neighbors. As an avid reader myself, I always get a kick out of a great literary find, a story so compelling I want others to read it so we can talk about it!

To take part, just write a review of the books you read and post it to the library web site or email me at librarian@lopezlibrary.org.

Each book review enters you into the weekly drawing for prizes. One prize per week from local merchants such as Paper Scissors on the Rock, Lilies in the Valley, Caffe La Boheme and more. Friends of the Lopez Island Library are also donating money for prizes.

Open to readers/review writers 18 and over. The program will run until March 31st. Lou Pray, the library director, will announce the weekly prize winner on her radio show, Wednesdays at from 1-2pm on KLOI 102.9 FM. Reviews will be posted on the library's web page to give you an idea of what to read next.
