LOCAL NEWS — We’ve got some sweet news for kids in Lynchburg. The Moore County Public Library will launch a Valentine’s Day Reading Contest tomorrow (January 24).

For kids aged three to 12, they’ll launch the Love to Read and Create program. Check out any three books and return them by February 12 and you will receive a DIY Valentine Kit. For teenagers, each book you check out between January 24 and February 12 automatically enters you to win a Valentines Day-themed prize that included a stuffed bear and bucket of candy.
