Winter Reading at the County Library
Español

Welcome Educators!

As a Salt Lake County educator, we are asking you to encourage students and caregivers to sign up for the County Library’s Winter Reading Challenge.

Why?

Student participation in the Winter Reading program has many benefits, including social, mental, emotional, and physical development, knowledge retention, improved test scores, and increased interest in school subjects.

Sign up your class as a group.

  • Contact your local County librarian, either through email, phone or visiting a branch.
  • Ask to sign up for Winter Reading as a group or classroom.
  • Be prepared with the name of your school, the average age of your students, and how many students are in your class.
  • Read, Create, Learn, Play, and Connect as a classroom January 2–31.
  • Record your activities for the whole classroom in the Beanstack app.
  • One activity every other day will ensure you complete the challenge!
  • Discuss with your County librarian the best way to collect prize books for your class. You can arrange a field trip to the library or talk to the librarian about scheduling a class visit in your classroom.

Cost?

Like the materials below—and all County Library programs—the Winter Reading program is free of charge so no one is excluded for financial reasons.
