Resolve to Read
Did you know a frequent New Year’s resolution people make is
to read more books?
Reading can transport you to another world, providing escape
from life's everyday stresses – which we could all use right
now! Increasingly, research also shows that reading may
offer some real benefits for health and well-being such as:
- reducing stress levels (which can contribute to illness
and disease)
- slowing cognitive decline
- improving sleep
- increasing social skills and empathy
Let the Library help you resolve to read with Winter Read!
·
Make a resolution of how many books you want to read in
January and February.
·
Track what you read
online,
or with a paper bookmark tracker (pick up in the lobby of
any Library location or
download online.)
·
Collect a prize for reading and logging at least two books:
one-size-fits most TLCPL touch screen gloves for adults and
kids, or red mittens for little ones (while supplies last.)
·
Every additional book you read and log also increases your
chances of winning a grand prize. You can log up to 10 books
before Feb. 28.
·
Grand prizes include memberships to local organizations such
as Imagination Station, Metroparks, Toledo Museum of Art,
Toledo Zoo, and a Toledo Symphony gift voucher. There are
also Amazon gift cards, LEGOs 484 piece classic set, Build a
Fort kit, Magna-Tiles 100 piece set, Kindle PaperWhite,
Cricut Explore Air 2, and a Nintendo Switch Lite.
