CALS Celebrates: New Year, New Reads

Posted on by

 The Central Arkansas Library System is encouraging patrons to “Read in” the new year with the  winter reading program: New Year, New Reads.

From Monday, January 7 through Saturday, March 2, patrons may read any book they choose and the submit reviews one of three ways:

  1. at the branch
  2. via email to NewYearNewReads@cals.org
  3. tweet @calibrarysystem using the hashtag #NewYearNewReads.

Each branch will display the reviews submitted at their branch, and most branches will have drawings for door prizes from the reviews received. Each branch will determine the rules and prizes for their contest.

A prize of a Kindle Fire will be awarded for the Most Creative Book Review of all entries submitted online. Reviewers tweeting or emailing reviews of no more than 144 characters will be entered into the contest.

Readers can pick up reading suggestion bookmarks and review cards at the circulation desk of any CALS branch. The program is free and open to the public.
