The new year looks to be a busy one for library patrons and staff on the Olympic Peninsula.
The North Olympic Library System (NOLS) hosts a number of virtual programs and services starting in January, from afternoon craft time for adults to subscription services and book clubs for teens.
For more information about these and other library programs and services, visit www.nols.org, email to discover@nols.org or follow North Olympic Library System on Facebook and Instagram.
Winter Reading Challenge
From Jan. 1-31, NOLS will participate in Beanstack’s Fourth Annual Winter Reading Challenge. Sponsored by Simon & Schuster, “Books Like Us” is a “celebration of diversity, harnessing the transformative power of seeing oneself reflected in a book,” according to representatives of Beanstack, a software platform.
This winter, NOLS invites readers of all ages to explore books from authors spanning an array of diverse backgrounds. Use #WinterRead2021 to join the conversation. NOLS challenges patrons to read at least 10 books during the month and keep track of their reading at www.nols.beanstack.org or on the Beanstack app.
Thousands of libraries and schools across the nation will encourage their communities to read a target number of minutes and books. Top-performing libraries and schools earn rewards from Simon & Schuster, including book collections and virtual author visits.
Virtual crafts sessions
NOLS invites adults to enjoy an afternoon craft escape and some virtual connection on Thursdays in January from 3:30 to 5 p.m.
Participants are encouraged to grab a crochet, knitting or other craft project, a favorite afternoon treat and the informal gathering to craft and chat together. All skill levels and crafts are welcome!
Register at www.nols.org or call the Sequim Library at 360-683-1161 to receive a Zoom link.
This program is supported by local Friends of the Library Groups.
Teen subscription service
Teens can now subscribe to a monthly book service just for them through a new NOLS program. Readers in grades 7-12 can sign up to receive a monthly book bag to be picked up curbside. Each bag contains two custom-selected library books along with treats and surprises.
To get a monthly Teen Lit Bag, sign up at www.nols.org/teen-lit-bag. Participants can cancel at any time. Bags will be ready to be picked up at one’s selected library on the first Saturday of each month. After using the library books, users are asked to fill out a response card and return it along with the books; the rest of the contents are to keep.
Curbside library service is available 10am-6pm on Monday and Wednesday and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
For more information, call 360-417-8500.
Books clubs for teens, tweens
NOLS invites tweens and teens to participate in online book groups from February through April. To join, pick up a Words Matter (grades 5-9) or Teens Read (grades 9-12) Book Club set at any NOLS branch beginning Tuesday, Jan. 5, and register at www.nols.org to receive the Zoom login for after-school book discussions with library staff.
Find links to short video book summaries on the registration page. Patricipants can keep the books but supplies are limited. Copies of all titles are also available in many formats for regular check out.
The Words Matter Book Club will discuss “Harbor Me” by Jacqueline Woodson, “The Epic Fail of Arturo Zamora” by Pablo Cartaya and “I Am Still Alive” by Kate Alice Marshall.
The Teens Read Club will discuss “All American Boys” by Jason Reynolds, “With the Fire on High” by Elizabeth Acevedo and “Children of Blood and Bone” by Tomi Adeyemi.
For more information, call 360-417-8500 or email to teens@nols.org.
