Subject: Wolfner Library Program Announcement
Greetings Shelia,
Wolfner Library is proud to announce two upcoming author talks and a
revamped Adult Winter Reading Program for early 2020. I was hoping you
could share the attached article about these programs with the members of
the National Federation of the Blind of Missouri. Would this be possible?
Thanks,
Amy

Wolfner Library 2020 Adult Winter Reading Program
Wolfner patrons selected American Regionalism as the theme for this year's
Adult Winter Reading Program. We'll explore the nation by diving into the
various regions of our country. You may choose to read a mystery set in New
England or a western exploring the Rocky Mountains, or explore a region with
a book of your choice.
The challenge is simple: Read 5 books set in different geographic areas.
When you sign up for the program, we'll send you a log (in large print,
braille, or electronic format) to track your progress. We also will have a
list of suggested readings and three pre-loaded cartridges available with
ideas about how to fulfill your personal challenge. As always, reader
advisors can provide additional reading ideas or help record your progress.
The program begins January 2 and will run through March 9. Registration
opened on December 1, 2019, and will continue through February 24, 2020.
The deadline for submitting the books read as part of the challenge will be
March 16, 2020. To qualify for prizes, you must complete five goals.
Register today by contacting your reader advisor at 800-392-2614 or
e-mailing Amy at wolfner at sos.mo.gov <mailto:wolfner at sos.mo.gov> !
