The Fremont Area District Library is planning to host several fun and educational events in January for the whole family. These events are FREE, as always. The Winter Reading Challenge for all ages is back this year beginning January 2nd, and runs through March 3rd. Children can sign up in the Children’s Department and teens and adults can sign up at the Reference Desk. Each age group will get a reading log with a challenge to complete, and when finished, you can bring it in for a prize. Teens will also be entered into raffle drawings for each book read.
