Fall into Winter Reading Program!

There are four different cards, one for each age group including early literacy, children, teens, and adults. Complete five activities across, vertically or diagonally to get Bingo. You can be read to, read to yourself, read to someone else, read ebooks or listen to audiobooks. Bring your completed Bingo sheet to your local branch to receive a prize coupon between November 18 and January 31. All completed cards will be entered into a grand prize drawing.

Totally Cool Winter Reading Challenge

 York County Library joins Zoobean in partnership with sponsor Simon & Schuster’s Books Like Us program for Beanstack’s Annual Winter Reading Challenge. We challenge York County to read at least 1 million minutes as we compete with libraries and schools across the nation for a chance to win 1 of 8 virtual author visits and other prizes, shared among the top-performing libraries and schools.  To complete the program, patrons must read for 5 hours.  The program starts December 14th and ends January 31st.
