Read any format or genre of books: physical books, ebooks, audio books, e-audio, fiction, non-fiction, or graphic nvoels.

Books don’t have to be from the library (but we would love if they were!). Read books from home. Count reading assignments. Count story time. Read, read, read!

The library now has a book locker on the front porch where you can pick your books up 24/7.  Choose that method when you place your hold.

You also have access to our online catalog of e-books & e-audio books, and reading them will count toward the program.  Find those resources at https://ccls.org/305/eMaterials.

If you have questions regarding the program, please do not hesitate to contact us at 610-933-3013 x 124.
