Library encourages reading through out-of-the-box activities

Librarian Blanca Patlan said this is just one of the many activities going on in the library right now.
“We’re just finishing up ‘Blind Date with a Book’,” Patlan said. “We’re also dressing up as hippies for the juniors’ research projects.”
The library will also be hosting it’s second annual “March Madness: Battle of the Books” competition beginning this week. Kids can nominate up to five of their favorite books. Librarians will pick the top 32 for students to vote on until eventually one is chosen as the best. Every time they vote, their name will be entered in a drawing.
“It’s really fun because it ties in with our culture,” Patlan said.
Patlan said the library’s goal is to draw more people into the library.
“We ultimately want more people reading,” Patlan said. “We want them to become life-long readers.”
