COMING SOON! - "Catch Your Pet Reading" Calendar Photo Contest Begins June 8, 2020

Show off your furry friends! Share a photo of your pet "reading" a library book for a chance to be featured in our Friends of the Library fundraiser calendar! In addition, two lucky entries will win a $25.00 gift card to EarthWise Pet Supply & Grooming in Newton.

Here’s how to play:

Photos must include the pet posing with a book, to be considered for the calendar contest. The last day to submit your photos will be June 27th.

2. Winners for the gift card drawings will be randomly selected on June 30th.

3. Vote for your favorite photos! Vote for your favorite photos online. We will share the voting link on our website and Facebook page, beginning June 30th. Voting will run June 30th - July 11th.

The top 12 pets will earn a place in our 2021 calendar and a free copy of the calendar, courtesy of the Friends of the Library!
