WINTER READING PROGRAM

Kids and teens do you like hot cocoa and stories?  Make sure you check out the children's and young adult's winter reading program - "HOT READS ON A COOL NIGHT."   What do I have to do?  Read five library books or listen to five stories between Saturday, February 4th thru Saturday, March 24th and let a library staff member know at the Hamlet Library, San Pierre Library, Koontz Lake Library, or the Henry F. Schricker Library, and you will receive a hot chocolate cone.  What is a hot chocolate cone?  It is made with cocoa, marshmallows, and chocolate chips in a cone-shaped bag.  What could be better on a cold and snowy night!
