Read With Leo!Read wiht Leo

Leo loves to read, and this year, he’s encouraging his library friends to read along with him!

In February, Leo is snuggling up by the fire with chilly winter stories. Kids read one winter story and submit a short review to earn an iron-on patch for their backpack or favorite jacket!

If you need help finding winter stories, ask the library staff.  They’ll be happy to point out some of Leo’s favorites!
