SO YOU KNOW

Last month, as part of the 125th Anniversary celebration, the Boyle County Public Library offered a Read 25 Books reading challenge to patrons ages 18 and under. The challenge was created to encourage patrons to read 25 books between mid-October and Dec. 28.

Ninety-nine patrons turned in completed reading log bookmarks and earned library tote bags. On the reading logs, patrons were able to list titles of their favorite books read during the challenge. Recommended books included “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?” by Bill Martin, Jr. and Eric Carle, “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” by Jeff Kinney, and the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling.
