Loutit District Library's Winter Reading Challenge
The Loutit District Library in Grand Haven has kicked off its annual "Winter Reading Challenge"! The goal is simple: read for 300 minutes - that totals to five hours - between now and the end of the month.
If you hit a "bingo" on their reading card, you earn a gourmet hot cocoa kit from Patricia's Chocolate. Complete the whole board for a chance to win a "cozy day in" bundle with pizza, a blanket, and books.
You can track your progress on the Beanstack app or a paper log. The challenge wraps up with a read-a-thon on January 31. Visit loutitlibrary.org for more information.
