Adult Services Winter Reading Program
Reading with Your Gnomies
January 11 - March 15, 2026
For ages 14 years and older
Mythological creatures are taking over Adult Services this winter! Our knowledgeable Gnomes are here to guide you to a treasure-trove of good books.
Join our Adult Winter Reading Program and enjoy tomes from nine gnome-y categories. Sven suggests reading a book with a season in the title, while Ingrid recommends books with one-word titles. See what the other Gnomes have up their sleeves.
Complete three (3) books to earn a chance to win one of ten $20 gift cards from a local business.
To register for the program, meet the Gnomes at the 
Adult Services Reference Desk starting Sunday, January 11, 2026. Registration is required.
