Winter Read 2021 Wrap Up

January was a great month for reading! We had over 30 participants who have registered their reading logs so far, and we are accepting them through Friday, February 5th for the grand prize raffle for adults and for earned prizes for kids and teens. 

Altogether, we have registered 139 books for adults and 3,692 minutes for kids and teens. The grand prize raffle for adults will be your choice of either a gift card to Bridgton Books or Food City, and we will let the winner know by the end of the day Friday, February 5th. 

Have a reading log all filled in but late in getting it back to us? Don’t worry, your reading log will be counted in our Spring Read we are planning for April.

Please call (207-647-2472) or email (bplreference@bridgton.lib.me.us) with any questions. Happy Winter, Everyone!

Kids Book Reviews 2/1

Drama by Raina Telgemeier. This is a book about girl involved in a play. She makes lots of friends and art work for the play. She also helps her friends with the play. I like that it has a very surprising ending and that they paint and do lots of art work. I also like that she has a younger siblings like I do. –Ruth (age 9)

Nicolas, Where Have You Been? by Leo Lionni. This book is about a mouse. A bird comes down and swooped him up. I did not like when the mice said “down with the birds”; I did not think the birds were ugly. I wonder what the next book is like. -Peter (age 4)

Lon Po Po by Ed Young. I like this book because the oldest sister is clever. She figured out how to kill the wolf because it was trying to hurt her family. –Nova (age 7)
