Oh my gosh, it's summer, a great time to read outside! When deciding on what you'll read, consider taking a look at the library's book bingo card. If any of your reads fit into a category on the book card, fill out a row or more, give it back to the library and you could win a prize. Some titles that match bingo categories are listed below, in case you need a suggestion!

Print the front and back of the card below, or come in and pick up a hard copy.

This page will be periodically updated throughout the summer, so please come back and see what's new now and then!
