Start Your New Year With a Reading Resolution!
As the calendar turns to January and the chill of winter settles in, there’s no better time to cozy up with a good book and embrace the joy of reading. This year, the New Castle-Henry County Public Library invites you to kick off 2025 with a “Reading Resolution” by participating in our Winter Reading Challenge!
Reading for pleasure isn’t just an enjoyable pastime—it’s a proven way to reduce stress, boost mental health, and ignite creativity. It’s also a wonderful opportunity for families to bond while discovering new stories together. Whether you’re a seasoned bookworm or just looking to build a reading habit, this challenge is for you.
Here’s how it works:
