Towns County Library offers “Winter Wonderland” Reading Program

HIAWASSEE, Ga. – Towns County Public Library is offering the community an opportunity to beat the winter blues by participating in an adult “Winter Wonderland” Reading Program. The goal is to challenge readers to expand their literature choices in an enjoyable way. The program is sponsored by Friends of the Libraries of Towns County, and will be held at the Hiawassee branch location.

“During the course of the program, you will read up to a total of 10 books,” Towns County Public Library Branch Manager Debbie Phillips explained, “You will be able to pick the specific book, but at least five of them have to be from a genre we have selected. The other five are your free choice.”

The five selected genres are: Mystery, Romance, Historical Fiction, Non-Fiction, and Western. Participants will fill out a brief book review card for each book read, and the cards will be entered into a special prize drawing.

A “Foreword Party” will mark the beginning of the program, scheduled for Jan. 4, at 3 p.m. Participants will receive an overview of the program rules and receive materials. Refreshments and warm drinks will be served. “The first 20 to register will receive a nice gift,” Phillips said, “Also, there will be a handmade bookmark make-and-take which is free to all participants.”

A “Mid-Chapter Party” will follow on Feb. 8, at 3 p.m. A second drawing will be held, and a workshop will be available on using Fantastic Fiction, Novelist, and the PINES Card Catalog. Additionally, there will be discussion on the program’s progression.

The reading program will end with an “Afterword Party” at 3 p.m. on March 15. Additional prizes will be awarded, and an open, overview discussion on the program will be conducted.

Although a sign-up sheet is available at the library, pre-registration is not necessary. The program is open to adults over the age of 18 with a valid PINES library card. Books must be read in a printed, bound version.

Happy Reading!
