Looking for more ways to make the most of your Summer Reading? The Library has put together an artful edition of its Book Bingo activity! Explore a variety of lists in our catalog that highlight books and stories featuring all artistic things.

HOW IT WORKS:

Book Bingo is a collection of reading prompts, lists, and ideas to help you read during Summer Reading. This self-guided game includes titles lovingly gathered by our librarians as a way to seed some starter inspiration:

  • Explore different genres
  • Discover a new author’s work
  • Try a new reading format (Audiobooks! Digital comics!)
  • Read stories featuring voices and perspectives outside your usual picks
  • Find titles the entire family can enjoy together

Click on any of the category tiles on the bingo card below to explore these lists. Or check out additional reading resources at the bottom of the page!

You can download a printer friendly Book Bingo sheet to print out for your use. We also have a blank Build Your Own Book Bingo sheet for you to create your own reading challenges!
