Winter Reads begins Sunday, January 1, 2023!

Winter goes a whole lot faster with a book...

...or ten. Enjoy the season's best reads. Visit any Washington County Library and look for the Winter Reads book display. Check out the book reviews submitted by other participants and share your own reviews. And with eBooks and eAudiobooks, we've got you covered even when subzero temps and piles of snow keep you at home.

Read and submit book reviews for a chance to win prizes.

Read. Stop by the information desk at your local WashCoLib branch to pick up a book review form and, if you're in the mood, get a winter reading recommendation. 

Share. When you're done with a book, write a short review to let other readers know what you thought! Return book review forms in person at your local library or tap the button to fill out our online form. 

Snag a surprise reward after you've completed your review, and you'll be entered in the library's drawing to win a book gift pack.

Repeat. Keep it up! Every review is one entry into our book bundle prize drawing at the end of February.

You can also share what you're reading on our Facebook page, or on Twitter and Instagram using #WinterReads. 

Unable to come into the library? No problem! You can fill out your book review online, then snag your reward through curbside pickup. Call your local branch to learn more.

Read. Share. Repeat. Still want more?

Winter Reads is sponsored by MELSA, metro public libraries and Washington County Library.
