Tic-Tac-Snow!

Friday, December 26, 2025 - Sunday, February 22, 2026

For children birth - grade 8

Hibernate with stories this season at the Library! Children from birth through 8th grade can join Tic-Tac-Snow, our Winter Reading Program. Every week, read five (5) books together or read 60 minutes on your own to earn a ticket toward the Final Prize Drawing. Then, stop by the Youth Services Reference Desk for a weekly game of Tic-Tac-Snow—line up three (3) and you'll win a free book! Just like bears in their cozy dens, winter is the perfect time to curl up and read.


How to Participate

Come to the Youth Services Reference Desk to pick up your reading log. Read five (5) books to your child or read on your own for 60 minutes each week. Then, visit the Library during that week to earn a ticket and play the PLINKO game. 


Prizes and Final Drawing

You will earn one (1) free book when you complete three (3) in a row, or a Tic-Tac-Snow, on your reading log.

Earn tickets toward the Final Prize Drawing by reading and visiting the Library each week. One (1) ticket per week can be earned. Write your name and phone number on the ticket and place it in the bin of the prize you would like to win. Prizes include gift cards to Dunkin' Donuts, Classic Cinemas, and Target.
