Palatine library to begin Winter Reading Program

The Palatine Library Winter Reading Program, "Snow is Falling, Books are Calling," begins Monday, Dec. 22, and will run through Saturday, Jan. 31.

Sign up early and receive a registration prize, while supplies last. Adults and teens will receive a Palatine Library mug. Children ages 2 through grade six will receive a stressball character. This program is sponsored, in part, by the Friends of the Palatine Library.

All valid District cardholders ages 2 through adult may participate with their own library cards. To sign up, visit www.palatinelibrary.org and manage your own reading progress, or come to any library location and staff will sign you up and log your progress.

Upon finishing the program, participants will be entered into a drawing by age category (child, teen, or adult) for a chance to win a gift basket filled with prizes donated by Palatine area businesses.

The Palatine Public Library District, www.palatinelibrary.org, serves approximately 90,000 residents predominantly within the communities of Palatine and Hoffman Estates.
