Free! No need to register.
The Winter Reading Program begins January 2!
January means the start of Winter Reads, the adult winter reading program for Pioneerland Library System. The program starts at the Litchfield Library on Friday, January 2, and ends Saturday, March 14.
You can sign up anytime until early March. When you sign up, you’ll get a book bag, while supplies last. You’ll also get a reading log to track and rate the books you read beginning the day you sign up. If you read 3 books by the time the program is done, you can choose a small prize. If you read 3 more, you can pick an additional prize. If you turn in a card with all 6 books read by the last day of the program, you’ll be entered in a drawing for local business gift certificates, sponsored by the Friends of the Litchfield Library. The program can be completed only once per year.
In the past we’ve limited participation to adults, but this year teens age thirteen and up are welcome to participate if they wish.
The prize choices include mugs, candy bars, book lights, notebooks, and can coolers, while supplies last.
You can read any books you choose: library books or your own, fiction or nonfiction, print or audiobook or ebook.
Ways the Friends of the Litchfield Library helped the Litchfield Library in 2025:
Thank you to the Friends of the Litchfield Library! What would we do without you?!
Litchfield Library’s seed library is available for early indoor plantings! The seed library is now in a long yellow container at the front desk, holding seeds that need to be started indoors early in the spring in order to be grown in Minnesota’s short growing season. More seeds will be added over time.
You may take 4 packets per week. No library card needed. No age limit.
Have some seeds you want to donate? We’ll take them!

GUIDELINES & TIMELINE
Litchfield Public Library has received a special gift! We’re one of about 1,280 Carnegie Libraries across the United States that has received a $10,000 gift from Carnegie Corporation of New York in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.
Carnegie Libraries hold a special place in American history and in the hearts of generations of Americans. More than a century after philanthropist Andrew Carnegie helped fund the construction of 1,681 libraries nationwide – including the original Litchfield Public Library – we are still serving our community.
Learn more about this initiative and find our library on the Carnegie Libraries Across America map.
Basic federal tax forms and instructions are available on a table in the library’s entryway: 1040 and 1040-SR forms and instructions, plus 1040 and 1040-SR forms in Spanish. The Minnesota Revenue Department does not send the libraries any state forms. If you need a form that’s not available on the table, talk to a staff member for help printing what you need, or for a phone number to call the IRS or Minnesota Revenue so that they can mail you paper forms. Printouts cost 10 cents per page. Library staff cannot give any tax advice.
