The Chadron Public Library will kick-off the annual Winter Reading Program for adults on Jan. 25.

This year program is called "Snow Better Time to Read (Than Now)". The program is open to all library card holders ages 18 and up. 

The last day to sign up for this winter event is Feb. 15. The program concluding on March 25.&nbsp;

"At the time of enrollment, goody bags will be available in the library," said&nbsp;Rossella Tesch,&nbsp;Chadron Public Library Director. "Patrons can request bench service for their bag...provided they collect the bag at the scheduled time. Program participants will be able to keep track of their reading using booklets (found in the initial goody bag) or by enrolling online on Reader Zone."

Only materials checked out from Chadron Public Library, Overdrive or Hoopla will count toward the Adult Winter Reading Program.

"In past years, every week the library offered programs for the adult patrons," said Tesch. "From a Chocolate Tasting Party to Saint Patrick’s Day Irish Tea the library entertained and informed the adults of our community. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19, the weekly events have been substituted with activity packets. Patrons can request their packets free of charge and enjoy games, crafts and more at home. The packets will be distributed on a first come, first served basis, while supplies last. Every week a different type of packet will be released. Each weekly installment will be prepared by a different staff member, reflecting their hobbies and interests."

New to the program this year are book lists that can be found on the first page of the online library catalog. Each staff member has prepared at least one list of suggested readings. The lists are meant as helpful tools for those undecided on what to read.

Alliance City Council agenda, Jan. 19

By TENA L. COOK, CSC Marketing Coordinator

CHADRON – Chadron State College classes will be dismissed Monday&nbsp;to allow students to attend events in honor of MLK Day.

Laura Clay of Colorado Springs, Colorado, is president of the CSC Social Science Club and co-organizer of the event with Dr. Dave Nesheim and Dr. Justin Curtis, faculty advisers.

Morning sessions in the Student Center Ballroom will include a 10 a.m. discussion led by Dr. Kurt Kinbacher covering the history of protest through the rights, responsibilities, and privileges outlined and guaranteed in Constitution. Curtis will speak at 11 a.m. about the&nbsp;Evolution of the Black Lives Matter Movement.

A peaceful march will start at 12:30 p.m. at the intersection of Main and Third Streets and end at the Lindeken Clock Tower, according to Clay. Members of the public are welcome to join in the march up to the edge of campus, and all participants are expected to wear masks.

At 1:30 p.m., the movie “Fruitvale Station” will be shown in the Student Center Ballroom.

“We hope this film will spark conversations related to current issues, that people will gain a better understanding of these issues, and that the entire day’s events will prompt change on the CSC campus and beyond,” Clay said.
