Become a Champion of Reading this summer!
As soon as you print your Bingo Card (available in English, 中文, Español, Kreyòl Ayisyen & Tiếng Việt) make sure that you submit your contact information here so we know that you’re participating.
Then, fill in your Bingo Card with what you read, did, or discovered between Monday, July 1, 2019, and Sunday, September 1, 2019. Drop your completed card off at any BPL location or send a picture of the card to bingo@bpl.org by end of day on Saturday, September 7. All are welcome to participate, but only Boston Public Library cardholders (including eCards) ages 18 and up are eligible to win a prize. If you do not have a library card, learn how to get one here.
Please Note:
- Only one card per person.
- Book titles may only be used once per card.
- For readers ages 18 and older.
- Winners must pick up their prizes from a BPL location.
