The Winter Reading Challenge is happening now at Ada Public Library! You can sign up online at http://adalibrary.readsquared.com or come into the library to get registered.
Individuals who complete the winter reading challenge have their choice of a cozy flannel blanket or a free small drink from Buckeye East!
Kids have their own prize box to choose from. The library will be wrapping things up on February 28, so don't delay...come in soon and start reading!
The Ada Public Library is introducting a new type of book group on the 4th Monday of the month at 6:30 p.m.
"The Gush and Hush Book Club. What???? It's where you get to talk amongst yourselves about that amazing book you reading. You may even get a little verklempt about it and then after everybody's done gushing, you get to hush and read."
"Yes, read. In a group setting. Just like you did back in school when you were trying to avoid listening to algebraic equations. We may even listen to a little Barbra Streisand while we read. Who knows?"

Does 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten sound like a staggering goal? Let’s say you begin when your child is one year old: that’s reading ⅔ of a book every day for four years. Okay, so what’s a book? An average board book is about 14 pages. An early reader book averages 32 pages (500-2,000 words) Still sound daunting?
Fortunately, the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten nonprofit and hundreds of libraries across the United States are ready to give families and caregivers a helping hand, providing encouragement and resources.
