The days are getting colder and the nights are getting longer — but reading always brightens up our day — so we’re challenging you to Fall Into Winter Reading. We realize you’re busy, so we made it simple. Grab a Bingo card from your local branch or download one from our website. There are two different cards, one for adults and one for youth — early literacy, children and teens.
Complete five activities across, vertically or diagonally to get Bingo. You can be read to, read to yourself, read to someone else, read ebooks or listen to audiobooks. Bring your completed card to your local branch to receive a prize. All completed cards will be entered into a grand prize drawing for their age group. One entry per person.
If you want to share your bingo activities with the library, tag us on social media and use the hashtag #LexCoBingo.
