Winter Reading 2026: Ticket to Read

Read your way to new places this winter! Start in Chicago, and each 20 minutes you read counts toward a route across the United States. Earn a ticket for the prize drawings every time you arrive at a new city. And earn a bonus ticket by writing a book review!
 

Pick up a map of reading routes at the Library, and from January 1 to February 15, read your way across the map to earn virtual tickets for the grand prize drawings. Happy reading!

Prizes include the following experiences:

  • A gift bag to enjoy at Full Tilt Arcade
  • Sugar Camp Days Passes
  • A gift bag to enjoy at the Potawatomi Zoo
  • Ticket to Ride board games
  • Entry for the Indiana Dinosaur Museum
  • Tickets to ride the South Shore Line train
