We are excited to start this year off with our Winter Reading Challenges. The first one is for the adults and it is “Reading Around the World” and the second Reading Challenge is for the High schoolers called “Readopoly”. Both Winter Reading Challenges will run from Jan. 1-March 31.
Reading Around the World:
Stop in the Glenwood City Public Library and pick up your Reading Passport or you can download it from our Website.
Read a book that is set in any country. Bring your Reading Passport in to get it stamped. When you fill up your passport please ask for more pages.
With every stamp in the passport, you will be entered into the drawing for a chance at a $50 Cenex Card. All Reading Passports must be turned in by March 31st to be entered in another drawing for a chance to win a $100 Kwik Trip Card.
Readopoly:
Stop in the Glenwood City Public Library and pick up your Game Board to start your adventure. You can also download the Game Board and Instructions from our Website.
Choose your square to start your challenge, but you can not start on a Treasure Chest. The Treasure Chest and Chance Cards can be picked up at the High School Library or the Glenwood City Public Library.
Every square you accomplish bring your game board to the Glenwood City Public Library to get your square stamped.
Every square you get stamped, you get your name into the drawing. Every Chance card is worth 3 names in the drawing. The Drawing is for a $50 gift card to Cenex.
