FULL CONTEST RULES

Need something to do on a snow day?

Isn’t all this snow crazy?!

I don’t know the last time we got this much snow! I don’t know about you, but the snow is fun for a day or two, but then I start to feel antsy and start looking for things to read.

 

Guess what? RPL not only has some great books, but we also have:
eBooks
eMagazings
eAudiobooks
Streaming video and music

If you can’t leave the house because of all the snow, all you have to do is go to the library website and get all you need there 🙂
