RCS LIBRARY: December is for Readers
We’re challenging ourselves to wrap up 2017 with at least 1000 books checked out in the month of December. Read your way into the New Year and help out the cause! Each time you check out a book, initial a New Year’s Eve post-it note and add it to the wall.
If you’re looking to up your reading game in 2018, stay tuned for details of our Reading Challenge.
All families with children who have not yet started kindergarten can participate in our 1000 Books Before Kindergarten–even newborns. Kids will receive books and incentives on their 1,000 book journey, and will be added to our library’s 1,000 books wall of fame when they reach their goal. Register at the Library.
Holiday Closings
The Library will be closed Saturday, Dec. 23 to Monday, Dec. 25 for the Christmas holiday and Monday, Dec. 31 to Tuesday, Jan. 1 for the New Year. Visit us between the holidays – and, of course, ebook downloads are always available!
