Van Horn Public Library

The annual adult reading program is back at Pine Island!  This year we will play Book Bingo again. The program will run for 10 weeks. Patrons may sign up beginning Monday January 11th. The first 20 patrons who sign up will receive a 2010 book lovers calender. When readers have completed a bingo on a card they may enter their name in for the weekly drawing. At the end of the 10 weeks there will be a drawing for a few larger prizes.

Read the winter away!
