MANSFIELD — The Mansfield/Richland County Public Library (MRCPL) invites the community to participate in the annual Winter Reading Program. Jan. 6 to Feb 1.

The Library encourages you to create some hygge in your space this January.

“Hygge” is a Danish word used when acknowledging a feeling or moment as cozy, charming, or special.

Borrow a book, ebook, or audiobook and settle into your “hyggekrog,” a safe space where you can read, have tea, or be at peace.

The Winter Reading Program is available for all ages and encourages reading by offering prizes for children, teens, and adults. Read a book, complete and submit a ticket in person or online, and you’re entered into one of many weekly prize drawings.

Tickets are available at all nine MRCPL library locations, and at any Bookmobile stop, in addition to an online submission option through the Library’s website. Follow MRCPL on Facebook during the program for additional chances to win.

This winter, MRCPL continues to offer curbside service, an ideal option for picking up library materials that have been put on hold without leaving the warmth of your vehicle.
