I am a huge fan of the library systems in the KC area. There's always a fun program, reading incentive, or something else going on - no matter where in the KC Metro you might live! Here are a few of my current favorite library happenings:
Mid-Continent Public Library (serves Jackson, Clay, & Platte Counties in MO)
RAFT: Reading Aloud Family Time, January 18 - March 31, 2011
How would you like to earn a FREE copy of the classic The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling, just for reading 3 chapter books aloud with your family? This program is going on right now and it's an awesome way to get kids excited about reading! Participating families who read 3 multi-chapter books together earn a free hardback version of The Jungle Book, an award certificate, and a chance to win a DVD copy of Disney’s film version of The Jungle Book.

Kansas City Public Library (serves greater KC area)
Johnson County Library (serves Johnson County, KS)
18th Annual Young Writer's Contest - presented by Reading Reptile
These two library systems are sponsoring a young writer's event from Reading Reptile, a fun bookstore located in Brookside. Writers must be between ages 5-12 and should submit a story that is 500 words or less. 6 (or more) stories will be chosen as winners and read aloud at a special reception for all contestants on Friday, February 18th, 2010, at 7pm, at the Plaza Library. All contestants will receive a certificate of recognition! Entries must be turned in by January 28 - that's less than a week away, so start writing! Click here for more info, rules, and entry form!
All right, young readers and writers of Kansas City - there are many adventures ahead of you! Better get started today! :)
