This registration asks a lot of questions; do I have to answer them all?
No. Only the questions marked with an asterisk are necessary. We ask all these questions because they help us know what works for different groups of patrons, so that we can provide better services in the future. If you are uncomfortable with any of the questions not marked with an asterisk, feel free to skip them. Additionally, if you are over 18 you do not to enter your actual birthyear. Anything over 2001 will do so that we know you are an adult.
Do I need to create a separate account for me and my children?
No. When you create your account you will be given the option to add additional family members, both adults and children.

I forgot to track my reading minutes. What do I do?
If you aren’t sure how many minutes you spent reading, count how many pages you read. As a general rule of thumb 1 page = 1 minute.
Can I count the time I spent reading to my kids as time I spent reading?
Absolutely. You can count it on your own reading log and on theirs.
Will the Library be using my review for anything?
We appreciate you submitting a review as part of the Winter Reading Challenge. If we would like to share your review on our blog, we will contact you for permission.
