(OVP File Photo) GALLIPOLIS — Now that the cold winter months have settled upon us, are you taking time to catch up on all the wonderful books you have been wanting to read? The staff of Bossard Library encourages you to participate in the Library’s annual Adult Winter Reading Program, with this year’s catchy canine theme, “Reading is Pawsitively Delightful.” For every five books borrowed from Bossard Library and read, participants will receive a prize of a six-can cooler with the Bossard Library logo, a notebook and pen set, or a Bossard Library book bag, while supplies last. For each book read up to 25, participants will earn a ticket for a chance to win one of six themed baskets containing items worth up to $100. Participants can use their earned tickets to enter in a drawing for the themed basket they hope to win. Basket themes include: Finding Your Roots; Snuggle Up with a Good Book; Who Done It?; C is For Cookie; Porch Pastimes; and A Little Bit Country. Registration begins January 11, with the program ending on April 11. Prize drawings will be held April 12.
