Gail Borden Library Unveils New Passport Program for Readers
Elgin, Illinois – The Gail Borden Public Library has announced the launch of an exciting new program aimed at encouraging reading and exploration among its patrons. The library’s new “Gail Borden Passport” program is set to kick off this month, offering a unique way for readers to embark on literary adventures right from the comfort of their own community.
The Gail Borden Passport program was designed with the goal of promoting literacy and fostering a love of reading among library visitors of all ages. The program operates on a simple premise: patrons can pick up a passport booklet at the library and embark on a literary journey by reading books from various genres and collecting stamps along the way.
“We are thrilled to introduce the Gail Borden Passport program to our community,” said Library Director, Carole Medal. “This program is an innovative way to engage our patrons and encourage them to explore new genres and authors while also having fun in the process.”
The passport booklet features a list of different genres, ranging from mystery and romance to science fiction and historical fiction. Each genre has been assigned a specific number of books that patrons must read in order to complete that section of their passport. Once a book has been read, patrons can visit the library to receive a stamp in their passport as proof of completion.
“As patrons make their way through the different genres and collect stamps in their passport, they will not only expand their reading horizons but also earn rewards along the way,” explained Medal. “We want this program to be both rewarding and enjoyable for our patrons, and we have put a lot of thought into ensuring that it is a fun and engaging experience for everyone.”
In addition to collecting stamps and completing genres, patrons will have the opportunity to participate in special events and activities related to the Gail Borden Passport program. The library will be hosting author meet-and-greets, book discussions, and themed events to complement the program and further enrich the reading experience for participants.
“We have some exciting events lined up to coincide with the launch of the Gail Borden Passport program, including book swaps, storytelling sessions, and even a book-themed escape room challenge,” said Medal. “We want to create a sense of community and shared excitement around reading, and we believe that these events will help to bring our patrons together in a fun and meaningful way.”
The Gail Borden Library’s Passport program is open to readers of all ages, from children to adults, and is free to participate in. The program will run throughout the year, allowing patrons to embark on their literary journey at their own pace and according to their own preferences.
“We are confident that the Gail Borden Passport program will be a huge success and will inspire a newfound enthusiasm for reading among our patrons,” stated Medal. “We are dedicated to providing innovative and engaging programs for our community, and we believe that the Passport program is a perfect example of how libraries can continue to evolve and remain relevant in the digital age.”
