The East Hampton Library has invited high school students to take its online Young Adult Winter Reading Challenge.

YA Librarians are asking students in grades nine through 12 to read books, attend YA programs, and submit artwork for six weeks for a chance to win a "winter prize pack."

Registration began on Jan. 16. The challenge runs until March 1. Those interested can register either on the YA Instagram page, @ya_easthamptonlibrary, or on the library's website by clicking on the YA Winter Reading button.
