WIN THIS HUGE, AWESOME GIFT BASKET!

It's easy to win this fantastic gift basket designed by the Pearl Public Library's own Eleanor, reference supervisor and coordinator of adult programming!

The basket is yours if you read the most books by Feb. 28. 

The adult winter reading event is called Snuggle Up and Read, and is well underway. Library patrons are getting supercharged when they see this beautiful grand prize perched upon the reference department's work island. Uh-huuuuuh. It's like Christmas morning! Hey, even simply hearing about the grand prize starts patrons grabbing for books!

Here's how Snuggle Up and Read works.  You read five (5) books, turn in a reading log and get a small prize for your first reading log only. Turn in as many logs as you wish. All logs are counted. The person who reads the most wins the grand prize, a gorgeous basket loaded with goodies!

Don't wait to get in on this fun activity. Do it now! You just might win!

Winter Adult Reading Moments (WARM)

The Pearl Public Library presents its second annual Winter Adult Reading Moments (WARM) program which begins January 3 and runs through February 29, 2012.

The Library hopes to see WARM as an enthusiastic opener to adult programming in 2012 as they did in 2011. "The WARM 2011 program was a pleasant surprise," said Kimberly Coley, Reference Services Supervisor. "Initially, we didn't know how an adult reading program would actually be received during the winter months when a library can sometimes have slow days," said Coley. "WARM gave us the opportunity to have some fun and help boost library patronage. I was very surprised by the number of participants that we had. Our last WARM program was a huge success. I'm hoping this year will be even bigger."

Here's how WARM works: Any adult interested in participating can register at the library's Reference department starting January 3 and receive a reading log. After reading or listening (CD/audio books are allowed) to a total of five (5) books, the patron lists the titles on the reading log, and turns in the log for a small prize. There's a limit to one prize per patron. Patrons who turn in reading logs will be entered into a grand prize drawing.

The Winter Adult Reading Moments program is free and open to ages 18 and up. If you have any questions about this program, please contact the library at 601-932-2562 and ask for Kimberly Coley, or email her at rcref@cmrls.lib.ms.us.
