Winter Reading: Read for a Better World - January 1 – 31. Whitinsville Social Library is participating in Beanstack’s Fifth Annual Winter Reading Challenge, sponsored by Lerner Publishing Group. “Read for a Better World” encourages readers of all ages to explore diversity, empathy, and action through literature. We challenge our patrons to read at least 600 minutes during the month and keep track of their reading on our Beanstack website at whitinsville.beanstack.org or by downloading the Beanstack app. Every type of reading counts including audiobooks and e-books in every genre!
