Join the Mary H. Weir Public
Library, the West Virginia Library Commission (WVLC), and the West Virginia
Center for the Book in a fun reading
challenge called West Virginia Reads 150, which celebrates West
Virginia’s 150th birthday in 2013.
The year-long reading
initiative encourages West Virginians to read 150 books in any format (printed
book, e-book, downloadable text, etc.) from any source, during the course of
2013, West Virginia’s sesquicentennial year. Books can be on any topic, fiction
or non-fiction; they must be read between January 1 and December 31, 2013.
People can read 150 books
individually, or create teams to read 150 books collectively. Talk to your
friends and create your team at the Mary H. Weir Public Library. Teams can have
up to 15 members. Teams must choose a name and select a leader to keep track of
the books read by individual team members.
All ages and groups can
participate – families, friends, coworkers, clubs, classmates, etc. If children
are too young to read on their own, kids can have their parents read to them.
Families can use their Summer Reading Program reading toward their West
Virginia Reads 150 tally.
