2019 Winter Reading Challenge
January 1 - January 31
For Kids and Adults of All Ages

Discover a love of reading this winter! We’re challenging everyone to read at least 600 minutes during the month of January - that’s only 20 minutes a day! Register and keep track of your minutes online at mountvernonwa.beanstack.org or pick up a paper reading log at the library. 


Hundreds of libraries and schools across the nation will encourage their communities to read a target number of minutes and books. If we reach the collective goal, “Shark Tank” investor Mark Cuban will donate $35,000 to top participating libraries to expand access to the resources we offer within the community.

Friends of the Mount Vernon Library will have one of the Tokens for Tomorrow jars across from the registers at the Co-Op through March 31, 2019. Here's how it works:


•The next time you visit the Co-op, remember to bring your own bag with you or use one of the used boxes we keep at the front of the store.

•You’ll receive a Co-op token for each full-sized new paper bag that you save. Each token is worth a nickel. 

•Put your token in one of the four jars across from the registers.

•Help the environment and support the library!

Library/Community Center Project Update


The joint project between the City of Mount Vernon and Skagit County government to build a public library, community center and parking structure in downtown Mount Vernon took a leap forward in recent days, as the Mount Vernon City Council unanimously passed a decision to hire a project management company to oversee the design and construction of the project.


The City has selected OAC Services, a Northwest Washington-based company that works alongside various local architectural partners, as well as Lydig Construction Company. OAC has an impressive resume of successful community projects, and a reputation for their strong commitment to identifying and addressing the unique demands of their partner communities. The company will be responsible for assessing how those community demands can best fit onto the project site, located across from the County Courthouse, on Kincaid Street.


The contract commences immediately, and OAC expects to finish the work of this preliminary phase by February 28, 2019.
