6 in 12: Reading Is Its Own Reward, But Who Doesn't Want to Win an eReader?

December 13, 2011

'Tis the season to hone in on the best deals, clip coupons, shop, wrap purchases, decorate like your life depends on it, cook, wait in line for an eon at the post office, and send out Christmas cards to people you haven't actually spoken to in years. Relax. Pour yourself a glass of egg nog or hot apple cider, collapse into your favorite comfy chair, and give yourself a reading break!

It's a worthwhile diversion in and of itself, but now it also gives you the chance to win one of a number of prizes! MCPL brings you the  6 in 12, a program that rewards your indulgence. It's easy. Read 6 library books in 2012, keep track of the titles, and fill out an entry form on our website.

Book club titles, unabridged audiobooks, and comics all count toward your goal. The only thing you can't do is watch a movie based on a book and claim to have read the book. But hey, we all know the book is usually better than the movie anyway. So that shouldn't be a problem, right?

We also want to encourage you to review what you read on our website. Just search for a title and click on the "write a review" link that appears below the item. It's as easy as that.

Want to talk to others participating in the challenge? Need that extra push to keep reading? Check out the 6 in 12 Facebook page.

Need reading suggestions? Check out BookLetters, Novelist Plus, and Books & Authors. Or, ask a friendly staff member. Chances are they're probably doing the challenge too!
