Download the Summer Reading Program Calendar of Events

Join the Winona Public Library Staff for a summer of adventure that will help keep your reading skills up! Our free program rewards children and young adults for reading daily on your own time.  All you need to do is come to the children’s desk or go to our website, starting June 3 and sign up.  You will receive a log and sheet of stickers to track your minutes.  1 sticker = 10 minutes of completed reading time. For every 100 minutes of completed reading, bring your log to the Children’s Desk to earn a prize.

There are 5 prize levels total.  It’s easy: Read what you want, where you want, when you want. Reading a book, magazine or screen, being read to by adults, listening to audiobooks— it all counts!  Prizes can be claimed from June 10 through July 19th.

We will also provide a variety of programs over 8 weeks.  Program description are on the calendar.


Group Visits

The library welcomes group visits. Please call Youth Services and ask for Lezlea to arrange a special storytime or instructional tour. Group visits need to be booked at least one week in advance (preferably sooner if you wish to get library cards for your group).
