Hi everyone!

I hope your holidays are going well!

Did you know that there are 44, 640 minutes in January? Can you spare a few of them to help the library reach it's Winter Reading Challenge goal?

This year, the library is hoping that everyone will participate because there is a cash prize on the line! Yep! That's right! Because this Challenge is sponsored by Mark Cuban, of Shark Tank Fame, top performing libraries could receive a cash prize of up to $35, 000! That's a lot of money doing a lot of good for communities.

With the hope of encouraging participation, the library will be holding drawings for prizes. So register today and get ready to track your reading minutes!

To register, visit our Reading Challenge website: https://marylandlbph.beanstack.org/<https://marylandlbph.beanstack.org/>. If you've used the site before, you'll be using your previous log-in information. If you haven't, you'll need to register. It's free and easy to do.

The program begins on January 1st and lasts throughout the month. Our library's goal is 50, 000 minutes; here's how easily it can be achieved:

  *   25 people reading 2000 minutes = collective goal met
  *   50 people reading 1000 minutes = collective goal met
  *   100 people reading 500 minutes = collective goal met
  *   150 people reading 335  minutes  = collective goal met
  *   500 people reading 100 minutes = collective goal met

If you have any questions, need help registering online, or would like to work with the library to track your minutes in a different manner, please contact:
