GLENDALE, Ariz. — If you love books and baseball, the Glendale Public Library is launching the program for you. The Spring Training Reading Challenge will take place from Feb. 5 to March 10.
Participants read or listen to a book of their choice and then visit any Glendale Public Library location to complete an entry for a weekly game ticket drawing for a White Sox or Dodgers Spring Training baseball game. Additionally, attendance at a library program or event earns an extra entry for the weekly drawing.
The grand prize is a bundle which includes:
- Four dugout box tickets to the last game of the spring training season on March 23
- An opportunity for the winner to throw the ceremonial first pitch
- Two autographed baseballs
"We're thrilled to launch the Spring Training Reading Challenge, encouraging our community to embrace the joy of reading while enjoying the excitement of Spring Training baseball," Greg Kinder, administrative librarian, said in a news release. "This collaborative effort with Camelback Ranch-Glendale Stadium adds a unique and engaging dimension to our library programs."
To get involved, head to any Glendale Public Library Branch and pick up a reading challenge entry.
