LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Library is kicking off its Winter Reading Challenge on Friday, Jan. 19, inviting residents of all ages to embark on a challenge to read more in the new year.
The Winter Reading Challenge is an opportunity for participants to embrace the many benefits of reading, fostering positive impacts on their lives. The challenge is available for pre-K, kids, teens and adults.
Even the smallest readers, unable to venture through books alone, can join with parents recording their shared reading experiences.
Registration for the challenge is available on the library’s website, allowing residents to sign up at their convenience until the challenge concludes on March 16. Locals are also invited to register at their nearest library branch.
Once registered, residents can start accumulating points by reading a diverse array of materials available at the library, from eBooks and audiobooks to print books, comics, and magazines. Every page read and logged with the library contributes to the challenge's goal of 1,000 points.
Completing the challenge brings a special reward: the chance to select a brand-new book and be the first to check it out.
The chosen book, adorned with the reader's name, will become part of the library's collection, courtesy of the Friends of the Lake County Library — a dedicated community non-profit membership organization.
Children can collect stickers and small toys throughout their reading journey, while adults and teens stand a chance to win a prize basket filled with books.
Beyond the thrill of the challenge, the Winter Reading Program emphasizes the critical role of reading in building literacy skills.
A well-developed literacy foundation extends beyond the ability to read and write, aiding in the comprehension of complex ideas and effective communication with the world.
In addition to fostering literacy, making reading a habit boasts numerous advantages, including stress relief, empathy development, and sustaining mental sharpness throughout life.
Join us in celebrating the joy of reading this winter! For more information and to sign up, visit the Lake County Library Website at https://library.lakecountyca.gov.
