The East Hills Library is hosting a Cabin Fever Family Reading Program for families to shake off winter “blahs.”

The reading incentive program for the whole family will be held at the East Hills Library, 502 North Woodbine Road. Beginning January 11, families participate by logging the time spent reading together and completing planned activities at home or the library. As they complete the program families earn chances to win one of three family prize packs. The prizes will be awarded at the end of the program on February 8.

Winter boredom cures include a family juggling class, craft programs for tweens and teens, storytimes and family movie night. There will also be a couple of programs geared more for the adults including a live music performance by Marcus Words and a presentation on “Growing a Lifelong Reader”. A complete list of the times and dates of all the events planned during Cabin Fever is available at the East Hills Library or on the St. Joseph Public Library website, sjpl.lib.mo.us.

Register your family for the Cabin Fever Program by visiting the East Hills Library anytime from January 11 to February 5. A “family” consists of at least one adult and one child. Some of the individual events will also require advance registration. For more information contact Will Stuck at 236-2136.
