NEVADA CITY, Calif. – Embrace the season with Nevada County Library’s Winter Reading Challenge! From December 13 through January 11, readers of all ages are invited to cozy up with a good book, take on fun reading challenges, and earn winter-themed prizes.
Participants can pick up a mug-themed Bingo card at any library branch and complete all the challenges to receive a free mug and hot cocoa packet. Young readers (ages 0–18) will also receive a book as a special prize. Feeling ambitious? Stretch yourself with additional Bingo cards or aim to finish all 12 designs by January 11—though the limit is one prize per person, while supplies last!
