Remember throughout the year, fill out paper forms or log in online to participate in our year long reading challenge of reading 23 different books in 11 different genres. This is a fun way to try new books and different genres throughout the year. Everyone is invited to enter multiple times and at the end of the year fun prizes will be awarded randomly to participants.        

Park County libraries is pleased to announce a limited-edition Park County Library card, available at all libraries. In celebration of the new limited-edition card and Winter Reading, everyone who visits the library can enter into a drawing to win a children’s picture book that the limited card design is inspired by. The design is inspired by author Jon Klassen. These new library cards will be offered to new library card sign ups and anyone who would like to replace their old cards with this limited-edition card is welcome to do so.
