Adult Winter Reading Challenge:
Winter Reading is Oh “Sew” Cozy

Portland Library’s Winter Reading Challenge is back!
This year’s theme is a textile-based challenge that’s all about staying warm and cozy.
​
Visit the library on or after January 2 and we’ll give you a quilt to fill in with the books you read. Once you’ve read 9 books and have a complete quilt, you will have completed the challenge and will win a small prize.
​
Everyone who completes the challenge will be entered into a drawing. The winner will select a book (up to a $40 value) to be added to the library's collection.
