Racing to Read with KCPL!
Pick me! A quick run to support a great institution.
I also just followed your blog
I would love to win!!
I want to run in the 5K because I think it’s for not only a great cause, but one that’s important for our community – and it’ll be the first 5K I’ve ever done!
I followed your blog! 🙂
One favorite thing about the library? That’s so impossible! I love the endless access to books, the friendly staff, and the fun events for both adults and children.
I shared the contest on Twitter (via @sourceambs Twitter handle).

I plan to participate in the Library 5K because the foundation’s cause is one I care about, from a community resource I use (very) often and it will be my first 5K. Win, win, win!
My favorite thing about the Kenton County Public Library is that if there are ever books I want to read that aren’t already part of their circulation, KCPL is always accommodating by helping me find it through the Interlibrary Loan or even purchasing the items. A fantastic resource!
This looks like so much fun!!
