Here at the library, summer weather means the return of summer reading! ☀️ This year, we’re not leaving all the fun for the kids…

May 20th to August 20th, we’re having an Adult Summer Reading BINGO Challenge! Complete the challenges on the BINGO card (available at the library starting May 20th), get your card stamped at the library, and win prizes when you get a BINGO. Teens, tweens, and adults are all welcome to participate. Additional rules will be listed on the back of each card.

This challenge is for all the kids-at-heart who think us grownups deserve a little fun too! 📖🏖️
