LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Winter Reading Challenge, offered by the Lake County Library for cardholders of all ages, will be coming to an end with Saturday, March 19, the last day for participants to log their reading.

The Friends of the Library are happily donating a book to the library for each reader who reaches the goal of reading 1,000 pages or 20 books.

At press time the 172 participants had earned a total of 138,331 points.

The Winter Reading Challenge is just one example of the many programs the library provides and that the Friends strive to support.

Staff is constantly innovating to meet the needs of county residents with different programs and resources for both adults and children.

These include “contactless pickup” and virtual programming during the pandemic, online access to an amazing number of resources for adults and children, and the impressive collection of books and other items at each branch.

And did you know that there are an increasing number of Internet “hot spots” and chrome books available for checkout with a library card?

The Friends welcome community support for their efforts to support the library.

Membership in the Friends is just one way to help. While active support is always welcome, simple membership helps and does not require attendance at meetings or any further activity.

For more information about membership, inquire at your local branch or visit https://www.friendsofthelakecountylibrary.org.

You can follow the group’s Facebook page to keep up with its latest activities at https://www.facebook.com/FriendsoftheLakeCountyLibrary.

In addition, donations of books in good, salable condition are accepted at each branch and are sold for bargain prices. You will also see attractive book bags for sale.

Participation in the “Adopt a Book” program allows a book or books to be donated to a branch collection in honor of an individual, noted with a commemorative bookplate. Arrangements can be made at each branch. And of course cash donations are always welcome. Thank you in advance for supporting our wonderful Lake County Library.
