How to Snuggle Up
February can bring unpredictable weather, but with the Snuggle Up with a Book Ball, you needn't lift a finger to attend unless it's to turn your page. The Snuggle Up with a Book Ball is a stay-at-home event where all you need to do to participate is donate and then crack open a good book on Saturday, February 22!
Your donations help the JCPL Foundation bring "New York Times" bestselling and award-winning authors to our community as part of our Authors at JCPL series.
Three ways to participate from the comfort of your home:
-
As an individual or team member: Donate any amount, stay at home, snuggle up and read.
-
As a Team Captain: Invite friends/family to be a part of your team and host a gathering or remote reading party.
-
Kids can join Team Bibli
Registration will open in December.
