Jones County Public Library is challenging students to read 15 books during the Winter Break. Due to Covid-19 reeking havoc on everyone's schedule, we are considering ALL of December our Winter Break!!

Once a student has read 15 books they will receive a bookmark designed by one of our 3rd grade patrons as well as a Certificate. #JCPL #JonesCo #JonesCounty #ReadingChallenge #WinterBreak #BaileyDesignedBookmark #15Books
