We’re gearing up for September here at Kingman Public Library! It’s Library Card Sign-Up Month. September also holds Banned Books Week from the 22nd to the 28th.
To celebrate, the Library will be holding a contest this month to guess a banned classic novel in a jar. There will be two jars, one upstairs for an adult novel and one downstairs for teen readers. Patrons aged 18+ can enter the contest for the adult novel. Patrons aged 13 to 18 can enter to guess the teen novel.
For entry into the contest, simply sign up for a Library card during the month of September. Current library patrons who already have a card can also present it for an entry into the contest. At the end of the month, one winner for each novel will be chosen from all of the correct guesses and will receive a prize!
Stop in and get signed up for a Library card today!
We’re also starting a new monthly Lego Contest for all patrons age 0 to 18.
To enter, simply stop by the library while the youth services area is open between the first and the 20th of each month. Using the libraries Lego collection, build the best creation that you can that fits the theme of the month . We’ll help you title your creation and display it nearby our Blue reader section. Then, starting on the 21st of each month, patrons can begin voting for the Lego creation they think best fits the theme. Cast your vote at the youth services desk. At the end of the month, votes will be tallied. The winning creation will be posted to our Facebook page and will be stored in our trophy case downstairs.
Our first monthly theme will be CARS! Happy building, happy reading, and we hope to see you in the library soon.
Thanks,
Kayla and Christie
