Readers ages 18 and up are invited to join us as we compete against libraries in other towns named Clinton for a summer reading challenge! We’ll take on readers from the Kirkland Town Library in Clinton, New York, the North County Branch Library in Clinton, New Jersey, the Clinton County Libraries in Pennsylvania, and the Clinton Public Library in Clinton, Iowa to see who can read the most this summer.
All you have to do is keep track of how long you spend reading each week. You can read books, magazines, or newspapers, listen to an audiobook, or anything you can borrow from the library. It counts! Download a Clinton Challenge Reading Log, grab a paper copy from inside the library, or report electronically — send us an email (illcl@cwmars.org) or let us know on Facebook!
If you attended the Town’s Library Construction Grant Q&A, you’ll remember references to the Feasibility Study. Here is a link.

CW MARS has rolled out an electronic library card (eCard) to allow patrons without library cards faster access to their local library’s electronic collections. The CW MARS eCard makes library content more accessible for patrons who have difficulty physically getting to the library or who primarily borrow electronic content (such as eBooks, eAudiobooks, eMagazines, and databases). The eCard can be upgraded to a full library card by visiting your local CW MARS library.
The eCard is for patrons who do not already have a CW MARS library card and may be upgraded to a physical library card with borrowing privileges by visiting your local library. For more information about the eCard, read our FAQ.

Contact your local library if you are not eligible to register online or to renew an expired card.
Funding for electronic content is provided by CW MARS member libraries, and the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners with funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
