Adult Winter Reading 2022: Read for a Better World, Read Anything

From January 1 to January 31, Turner Free Library is participating in Beanstack’s Fifth Annual Winter Reading Challenge, sponsored by Lerner Publishing Group. Read for a Better World encourages readers of all ages to explore diversity, empathy, and action through literature. Our community has unlimited access to Lerner’s “Read for a Better World” themed books for the month of January through the challenge activities!

We challenge our adult and senior patrons to read at least 360 minutes during the month and keep track of their reading on our Beanstack site. Collect all four of our winter-themed pins, a "Read More Books" sticker, and a handmade hot cocoa keychain by earning reading badges. Supplies are limited and will be given out on a first come, first served basis. Registered participants who meet reading badge goals will be entered into a raffle to win a grand prize of brand-new Kindle Fire HD tablet!

Thousands of libraries and schools across the nation are encouraging their communities to read a target number of minutes and books. Top-performing libraries and schools will earn prizes from Lerner Publishing Group, including book collections, signed books, and virtual author visits. Happy reading, Randolph!
