The Springfield City Library system has planned a very special way for your child to show his or her love for reading! Beginning January 15, city children will be able to take part in a heartfelt reading incentive program with a chance to win a delightful Valentine prize! If kids up to age 11 borrow five or more books from any branch library they will receive a raffle ticket. They can earn one raffle ticket per day, so the more they read the better their chances to win a special Valentine prize! Our "I Love Reading" raffle will run until February 13, and winners will be notified on February 14. For more information, call 263-6828, ext. 201.
