Winter Reading for Everyone
Teen Winter Reading Program:
Adult Winter Reading Program:
Teens are in for A Flurry
of Reading the next
couple of months.
From January 6
through
February
28, teens will be
rewarded
for
reading!
It’s easy to participate. Just pick
up a bookmark at the
library. When you read one book in two weeks,
mark it on your bookmark and bring that bookmark to the Kendallville or Limberlost Public Library, or to your school library.
For each book you read, you’ll earn a prize. Plus,
you’ll be entered to win one of five gift card
prize packs. You can even complete some reading challenges to earn extra gift card prize pack
entries.
Prizes for something you plan to do this winter
anyway? Perfect.
What could be better than cuddling up
on a cold day with a
book? Earning prizes
for it!
The Adult Winter
Reading
program
kicks off on Monday,
January 6 and runs
through
Saturday,
March 29.
To participate, simply
pick up a bookmark each month at the library.
For each 25 minutes you read, mark off a
snowflake. When you have read all 500 minutes, bring the bookmark to the library to claim
your prize. You will also be entered in a grand
prize drawing each month.
And it gets even better! You can do extra activities each month (as many as you want) to
earn more entries in the grand prize drawing!
Complete details, including all the prizes, can
be found on page 10 of this newsletter.

Looking for state tax forms?
They are available online now at www.in.gov/dor/4878.htm.
Paper forms are also available now at the libraries. However, the
amount sent to us is down by 10% this year. If we run out, taxpayers are welcome to print the forms themselves from the Indiana tax
website listed above. Or, the library staff can provide them with a
printed copy for 10¢ per page.
For those who prefer to file their
taxes online, Indiana will again offer
INfreefile. The benefits to using INfreefile include receiving refunds
quickly, filing both federal and state
tax returns at no cost assuming certain income criteria are met and
using a simple question-and-answer format.
To access INfreefile, go to www.freefile.dor.in.gov.

Kingdom Keepers Book Series
Access eSebco Non-Fiction Books
Who has been to Disney
World? If you loved it,
this is the perfect book
series for you. It is ideal
for grades 3-6, but
would also make a fantastic family read aloud.
If your child is playing Winter Reading BINGO, you may have
noticed the square that requests you visit eSebco and read a
non-fiction book. eSebco is a fantastic resource for kids of all
ages. There are two ways to access these non-fiction books:
Kingdom Keepers is about five
teenagers who must fight Disney Villains in order
to save the park. If you enjoyed the 39
Clues series or the Percy Jackson books,
check out the Kingdom Keepers series by
Ridley Pearson. It will keep you on the edge
of your seat the whole way through. There
are several books in the series, so once you
start it will be difficult to stop. We also have
these books on Playaway in case you want
to listen and follow along. The books in order
are:
1. Disney After Dark
2. Disney at Dawn
3. Disney in Shadow
4. Power Play
5. Shell Game
6. Dark Passage

Teen News & Events
Stormbreaker
By Anthony Horowitz
If you are an action film/book junkie, you’ll love
this novel.
Alex Rider was a normal British schoolboy until
his uncle died in a mysterious car crash. While
trying to figure out the truth behind his uncle’s
death, Alex is cast into the life of a spy; a life
most teens would love to have. Recruited by
MI6, Alex is now responsible for taking down the
man who really killed his uncle.
The first book in a series, Stormbreaker is thrilling and well written.

The Adult Winter Reading Program is here! We’ve spread it out over three
months to give you plenty of time to read and earn prizes.
Each month, simply read for 500 minutes. To easily keep track of your time, pick up
your bookmark at the library, and then mark off a snowflake for each 25 minutes that
you read. Once you do that, you’ll earn a prize!
January: A mug and packet of hot chocolate or tea
February: A booklight and a book
March: Choose from an assortment of prizes
You’ll also be entered to win a grand prize each month!
January: Cocomotion and gourmet hot cocoa and teas
February: A throw blanket, Austenland DVD and gourmet popcorn
March: Fondue for two
You can earn extra entries in the grand prize drawing, too! All you need to do is complete the following activities. You
do as many as you want each month: check out a magazine, read a book with a red cover, log into one of our online
databases and give it a rating from 1 (low) to 5 (high), attend an adult program, read any Jane Austen book, read any
book with the word “Murder” in its title, watch a movie and listen to its soundtrack, check out a music CD, volunteer to
clip coupons, volunteer to dust our shelves, recite a poem to the Adult Department Staff, sing us a line of your favorite
