Linebaugh Public Library will hold its annual Adult Winter Reading Program from January 23rd through March 3rd.  Patrons are challenged to meet a goal of reading and briefly reviewing at least six books over the course of the program.  That’s six books in six weeks or a book each week. All genres and formats are accepted and count toward the goal of six books. Patrons may sign up for the program at the library’s Circulation Desk beginning January 17th. 

Each week during the program, a review will be randomly selected and that person will be able to choose a free book from a selection. That person will also receive a copy of The Hunger Games, this year’s One Book, donated by Read To Succeed. One Book is a collaboration of Read To Succeed, Ingram Books, Linebaugh Library, Barnes & Noble, andMiddleTennesseeStateUniversity to promote reading and literacy inRutherfordCounty (http://readtosucceed.org/onebook.htm). 

At the conclusion of the program, every person who has met the goal of reading and reviewing at least six books will be awarded a gift card from Barnes & Noble, courtesy of The Friends of Linebaugh Library. They will also receive a waiver good for up to $10 in library fines.

Then one person will be randomly selected from among those who have met their goal, and that person will receive a Grand Prize. This year the Grand Prize will be gift cards from Maple Street Grill and Barnes & Noble, worth a combined value of $200.
