Winter Reading Challenge Returns to County Libraries in January

Things To Do

Sarasota County Libraries and Historical Resources is joining the annual Winter Reading Challenge for the sixth consecutive year. Sponsored by Beanstack, the challenge aims to encourage readers of all ages to look to the future while diving into how reading boosts our emotions. This year's theme, "All the Feels," focuses on the history of emojis and expressing yourself through fun activities, all while earning badges on a virtual bingo card. The county's goal is logging 50 thousand minutes of reading. Logging hours, and submitting book reviews, are among ways to participate. The sixth annual Winter Reading Challenge runs through Jan. 31. The program is free and open to all ages. Registration can be found by visiting Beanstack.For more information, call 311 or visit scgov.net.
