It’s time again for our annual reading program for adults, Chill Out with a Hot Book.  The program is open to anyone 18 or older in the greater Lonsdale area with a library card.  Don’t have a card?  We would be glad to sign you up for one.

We will be playing book bingo: Read books in the right categories, cross them off, finish a bingo, and collect a fun giveaway like tea or a mini candy bar. Plus, each bingo gets you another entry in our grand prize drawing. At the end of the program, one participant will win a gift basket full of cool bookish stuff!

We’ll also be offering fun events to fill those long winter evenings.  Everything is always free!
