Adult Summer Reading
To participate, adults will try to get one or more bingos on the adult summer reading bingo sheet. Each bingo spot encourages participants to read or engage with the library in various ways.
Participants have until Friday, August 4th to complete one or more bingos. Completed bingo sheets can be turned into the front desk at the Main Branch. (If participants use the Beanstack app and update their bingo sheet with their progress, this information will automatically be shared with library staff. Therefore, they don't have to turn anything into the library to be entered for prizes.)
Prize Information
- Everyone who completes one or more bingos will be entered to win various prizes.
- If a person gets one bingo, they’ll be entered to win a CPL branded tumbler and $25 of River City Gold. (Three people will receive this prize.)
- For every additional bingo a person gets after their first bingo, they’ll be entered into a drawing to win our grand prize basket! Our grand prize includes a CPL branded Yeti travel cup, a reading journal, and a reading light. (Only one person will win this prize.)
- People will be able to view these prizes in the lobby case at the Main Branch. Pictures of these prizes will also be on our website and Facebook page.
- Prize winners will be notified on Monday, August 7th.
