Ascension Parish Library issues January reading challenge
New year, new reading challenge. APL’s January Beanstack reading challenge is “All the Feels.” It’s all about looking ahead – to the new year, new possibilities, new resolutions and all the feelings that come with them. Exploring your emotions through reading helps you empathize with others while discovering new experiences.
Ascension Parish Library is competing with other libraries to win prizes based on community participation. Our goal is to have the community read and log 2,000 books.
