There are 5 eReaders Up for Grabs!

May 31, 2012

The 6 in 12 program is going strong, and there is plenty of time to get in. We are going to have a drawing for 5 eReaders at the end of the year, and you could be one of the lucky ones.

6 in 12 is the adult reading challenge open to library customers 18 years old and above. Log each library book you read in 2012, and you are in the drawing.

What? You don’t have time to read six books. Well, sure you do. I am going to give you a list of quick reads to get you in. Good books don’t have to be long books.
