A Guthrie County public library is having a reading program for adults coming up. 

Panora Library Director Kim Finnegan says this program is called “Reading Is Cool!.” She says participants are asked to read 10 different books from 10 different categories chosen by the library. Finnegan adds why the library is having this program.

“We’re just trying to get people to read more as of right now with the weather being like this and some people, it takes a little bit of competition to read a book. And so we encourage them to get involved with it this way.”

Finnegan says participants will need to sign up at the library and the ones that finish reading all ten books will receive a $10 gift card to Crafty’s Coffee and be entered in a drawing to win a bigger prize. This program will start on Wednesday and last to March 12th.
