The Winter Reading Challenge is available to all ages – kids and adults. It runs from December 21 through March 21. Readers will have the opportunity to enter into prize drawings and help build a community snowman in the front windows of the library. This program tracks reading online using Beanstack. The Beanstack app can be downloaded for both Apple and Android devices or patrons can keep track using their account on a computer. The Waterford Library’s Beanstack page is here: https://waterford.beanstack.org/reader365 .
