NEWTON —“Snuggle Up With a Good Book” is the theme for our winter reading programs at the Gale Library, Newton. Registration for the program starts January 15 and continues through March 2. Children can record each book read on a reading log and when they reach a goal, choose prizes and lots of new books from the treasure box. All readers are also eligible to win prizes at the program’s end raffle. There will be drop-in crafts to make, and word puzzles, mazes, and games and Legos for use in the library or at home. Come to the Gale Library, find some good books and get started!
