Winter Reading Challenge At Bernards Township Library

BASKING RIDGE, NJ — The Bernards Township Library is spreading winter fun this January for everyone by kicking off its annual Winter Reading Challenge for kids, teens and adults. There will be a grand prize for each of the three age groups.

Teens and Adults are invited to Be a Reading Machine, which will be hosted exclusively on Beanstack.com, the Library’s platform to join reading challenges all year long.

The Children’s staff invites you to celebrate the joy of reading aloud as a family experience, with our Snuggle Up with a Good Book read-aloud program. Stop by the library to receive a coloring "quilt" to track your progress, as well as a treat for the children.

During the month, color a quilt square for every 15 minutes you read together as a family. Quilts can also be printed from bernardslibrary.org.

Completed quilts returned to the library by Jan. 31 will be entered in a raffle. Check out the adorable prize when you pick up your quilt and treat.

To celebrate the library’s Family Read Aloud Program, Trilogy Repertory Company will be performing The Calico Tiger on Saturday, Feb. 1. Show times are 10:30 a.m., 1 p.m., and 2:30 p.m. Registration is not required.
