The Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library’s Winter Checkout Challenge is the one thing from last year we bet you’re happy is back. Win prizes just by staying in and checking out all our library has to offer between Jan. 18 through Feb. 25. And you get a free tote bag just for signing up.
It’s simple: Log activities and books you read with your 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 your activities online using our tracking app at CincinnatiLibrary.org/winter. Make sure you’re following @cincylibrary on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for flash challenges with more prizes.
