LITTLE BUNNY
A WINTER READ-TO-ME PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN AGES 2 – 5

Cozy up with your young child and join the Little Bunny winter read-to-me challenge at the Neenah Public Library. The challenge is to read 100 books to your little bunny during the month of February. (That is 25 books a week or about three and a half books a day.) You will help instill a lifelong love of reading in your child, have some fun quiet time together and, if you complete the challenge, your child will receive a free book!

Here’s how it works: Beginning February 1, pick up a reading record at the Neenah Library Youth Desk. Bring the reading record in each week for stickers at 25, 50, 75 and 100 books. Read 100 books during the month and receive a free book. Free books can be picked up through March 8.

Little Bunny recommends the best for your little one, so we will place books on a display dedicated to the reading challenge. You won’t have to search the shelves (unless you want to). Just grab some books and start reading!

If you have any questions, call the youth desk at (920) 886-6335, email us at [email protected], or check our web page at neenahlibrary.org.

This free family program is made possible by the Friends of the Neenah Public Library and the Neenah Public Library Trust Fund.
