Cozy Up to a Good Mystery with the Winston County Library

Do you love reading cozy mysteries? Then come to the library and join the Kensington Cozy Card program, where your love of the cozy mystery genre results in prizes!

It’s free to participate! All you have to do is:
1. Ask library staff for a punch card.
2. Each time you check out a cozy mystery (book, eBook, or audiobook), make sure to have the staff member stamp one of the ten purple circles on the punch card.
3. When you have ten stamps, mail in your Cozy Card with your name and address. You will be provided the address to mail your punch card.

Once your Cozy Card is received, you will receive a cozy mystery or advance copy of a cozy mystery for every completed Cozy Card received, along with a new Cozy Card for you to start again!

What is a cozy mystery? Cozy mysteries are comedic murder mysteries that show you what happens when you put a baker, a quilter, a candy shop owner, a pet sitter, or some other unqualified sleuth on the case to solve a crime. More precisely, cozies are lighthearted, with plenty of humor, no graphic violence or adult situations, and include an amateur sleuth (or sleuthing team) living in a close-knit community, solving a crime while juggling a day job, hobby, or other responsibilities.

Sound like fun? Be sure to stop by the library, get your first Cozy Mystery Punch Card, and start reading!
