Remember the reading programs from elementary school that rewarded reading with pizza? If you love pizza and want to read more in 2022, check out the Forest Park Public Library’s Winter Reading Challenge!

Here’s how it works: we challenge you to read 20 minutes a day during the month of February. For every seven days of reading, you will receive one ticket that will be entered into the drawing to win a Fiore Pizzeria & Bakery gift card to create your own pizza party.

Find out more and sign up at fppl.org/winterreadingchallenge (link in bio).
