Looking for more ways to make the most of your Summer Reading? The Library brought it all together with its Book Bingo activity! Explore a variety of lists in our catalog that highlight books and stories about togetherness.

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!
