Hot Reads for Cold Nights Adult Reading Program

Hot Reads
for Cold Nights returns to the Northfield Public Library this winter.  During the cold, snowy months of January and


February, curl up and read some books and win prizes at the library!  Join the library Hot Reads program starting


Monday, January 6, and read for prizes until Friday, February 28.

After
reading a book, each patron will fill out a slip with their name and phone

number and a few lines describing the book. 


The name and phone number section of the paper will be cut off and put


in a fishbowl.  The comment section of

each slip will be posted on the bulletin board downstairs, near the new

children's books.  Patrons will be able to browse

each other comments for ideas of new books. 


From the names in the fishbowl, three winners will be drawn each


week.  Each winner will receive a $5.00

gift certificate to a downtown business. Once again, patrons who use the

Northfield Senior Center will be able to sign up and drop their book slips at

the Senior Center.   The completed slips will be posted at the

library, and the participants will be included in the weekly drawings.

Several library

programs are being planned for winter months. 


The programs are free and open to the public.  On Tuesday,


January 7, at 7:00 PM, Alison McGhee, adult and children’s writer, will speak


at the Northfield Public Library

On Thursday,
