Wesson Public Library is starting a monthly books giveaway to build traffic, including both new and existing users.
Friends of the Library (FOL) is funding the prize books -- one awarded to an adult and one to a child in drawings every month starting in March.
Book winners will have to come to library to register for the drawings.
FOL says registrants new to the library will learn about its services and resources when they come in and registrants who are already library users will be reminded of its value to members of the community. For voracious readers, the giveaway will introduce new authors, and it will encourage others to discover the pleasures of books expand their reading.
FOL is a support organization that conducts fundraisers for the library and assists in its programming through advice and counsel, volunteers, and donations.
