Youths and adults who read two books between January 2 and Feb. 28 are eligible for Winter Read grand prize drawings, which include Kindle Fires, Nintendo Switches, and various gift cards.
Participants also receive a sign-up prize — cozy hats for kids and grown-ups — when they register (while supplies last). Sign-up prizes can be redeemed at any Toledo Library location.
The challenge runs from January 2 until February 28 and is free and open to the public.
Registration: There are three ways to sign up for Winter Read:
* Online at toledolibrary.org/readingchallenges
* In-person at any Toledo Library location
* Through the Beanstack Tracker mobile app
Groups are also invited to participate. Call your preferred Toledo Library location to get started.
Significance: Winter Read can help readers make early progress on their 2025 reading goals, from making more time for reading to reaching a specific number of books for the year. Reading challenges like Winter Read also help readers of all ages develop strong reading habits.
