Adult Summer Reading

Join our exciting Adult Summer Reading Program packed with colorful events and activities! Complete a bingo card for a chance to win great prizes.

How it works:

• Pick up an adult summer reading bingo card at the Reference Desk.
• Complete an entire row, column, or diagonal on your bingo card.
• Put the completed bingo card in the box at the Reference Desk.
• If you like, collect another bingo card and try again.
• You may complete as many bingo cards as you like, but you can only win once!
• Bingo cards may be submitted between 9:00 a.m. Monday, June 16th, and 5:00 p.m. Friday, August 8th. Winners will be notified by email or phone Friday, August 16th. Should a prize not be picked up by 5:00 p.m. Friday, August 29th, another winner will be selected.​
