Kent District Library announced that its annual Let It Snow teen and adult reading program kicks off this week.
Adutls and teens, 11 and older, have until March 31 to read a minimum of six books in different categories such as memoirs, modern retellings of classic novels, audiobooks, books to film or books on new worlds. Those who read at least 10 titles will be entered into the Power Reader drawing to win an iPad or a KDL branded winter cap.
“Reading is more important than ever, so our reading program encourages teens and adults to read this winter and earn cool prizes,” said KDL Programming Manager Kip Odell. “KDL librarians created great lists of recommended reading in different genres.”
For example, if you really like audiobooks and want a good laugh, there is a “My Life as a Goddess – A Memoir Through (un)popular Culture” by Branum Guy or Al Roker’s “You Look So Much Better in Person” (True Stories of Absurdity and Success). Perhaps its is a good mystery you seek then try “I Am Still Alive” by Marshall Kate Alice or Charlene Harris’ Aurora Teagarden series made famous from Hallmark, which also fits in the books to film category.
More than 2,200 people completed the Let It Snow 2020 program with organizers hoping to top that number in 2021.
