The Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library’s winter “Checkout Challenge” is back.
Between now and Feb. 25, participants can win prizes just by staying in and checking out all the local library has to offer. And get a free tote bag, just for signing up.
It’s simple: Log activities and books one reads with their library card for a chance to win prizes such as a Kindle Fire HD, a self-care kit or a date night pack. Anyone age 18 and older can get started by picking up a tracking card from the library, printing one, or logging activities online using the tracking app at CincinnatiLibrary.org/winter.
You can follow @cincylibrary on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for flash challenges with more prizes.
