The Prince William Public Library system is hosting a “Prince William Reads” for county residents over 18-years old.
The contest runs until March 31, and all residents need to do to participate is to read books and enter a weekly drawing at one of the county libraries, including Bull Run Regional, Central Community, Chinn Park Regional or Potomac Community library, according to a county release.
“Adults … can read anything they want, any kind of adult fiction or non-fiction titles, or listen to them on … audio if they like. They would take a form and fill it out with every title that they read, and take it to one of the four full-service libraries,” said Sallie Tiso, the Adult Services Librarian at Chinn Park Regional Library in a release.
Drawings are being held every Monday throughout the program, said a release.
“You can only win one weekly prize, but people should continue to submit because that will make them eligible for the grand prize drawing that will be held on March 31st. At that point, we put the entries for all the eight weeks of the contest together and pull grand prizes for each of the full-service libraries,” Tiso stated in a release.
The prizes for participants are $15 gift cards from area businesses, which are being provided by the Friends of the Library groups in the county. At the end of the program, there will be $25 grand prize gift certificates for popular restaurants in the area.
The program is being done as a way to promote reading among adults in the community.
“We hope to promote reading on the adult level and just to encourage that by giving prizes for reading. What could be better than that,” Tiso said in a release.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
