Reading free books
I hope you are having fun finding books for the 2025 book challenge. The prompt for today is very easy to accomplish. Choose to read a book you got for free (and of course, library books count). But if you have friends or family that loan you books when they are done and you haven’t read some, pick one up and enjoy! And if you don’t have friends and family loaning you books, then stop by the library and borrow one of our books to read. And then, visit North Wild bookstore and loan your own books to friends and family in the hopes they will then loan books to you.
Less than 250 pages
I hope all you readers are still making progress on your 2025 reading challenge to read 25 books following 25 different prompts. And if not, today is a great day to start or return to the challenge. And even if you don’t want to participate in the challenge, we hope you will visit the library and borrow a book. Reading can be a very important part of life and help us all relax, know more, become more empathetic and even sleep better. Another reason for adults to read is to show children in their life that reading can be an activity of choice and that it is one of the many ways we learn throughout our entire lives. Grab a book today and let a child see you reading. If you do most of your reading digitally these days, show your children the screen so they see you are reading.

Lots of non-book options
Welcome April! The sun is high in the sky and feels good on pale skin. But it is also the season of mud. I love settling in under a blanket on our porch and soaking up the sun’s rays while reading and avoiding walking in mud. I am reading lots of children’s books at the moment getting ready for sharing summer reading details with the youth in this community. So today I think I’ll share some of our ‘non-book’ options at the library.
