The Southbury Public Library invites interested teens in Grades 6-12 to join us for a Spring Book Bingo running from Friday, March 1 through Friday, May 31, 2024.
To participate, pick up a Book Bingo Card from the library’s second floor Teen Department or use Beanstack (the library’s reading program software, found at southburylibrary.beanstack.com) to fill out your Bingo Card virtually. Book bingo is like regular bingo, but instead of numbers and letters, each square has a type of book on it (such as “mystery” or “the favorite book of a friend or relative”). Every bingo made (a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line) counts as one entry for a $50 Visa Gift Card Raffle Prize. Readers who fill out their entire Bingo Card will get a Southbury Library Teen Department travel mug filled with candy. All Spring 2024 Teen Book Bingo entries are due by Friday, May 31, 2024: Beanstack entries are due by 11:59pm on May 31 and paper entries are due to the library by 5:30pm on May 31.
Book Bingo Rules:
- Open to residents of any town in Grades 6-12.
- Book titles may only be used once per Bingo Card; each entry has to be a different title.
- Books must be read during the March 1 to May 31 period.
- One bingo (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) counts as one entry for a $50 Visa Gift Card.
- If you complete all 24 categories, get a Southbury Library Teen Department mug filled with candy.
- All Spring 2024 Teen Book Bingo entries are due by Friday, May 31, 2024. Beanstack entries are due by 11:59pm that day and paper entries are due to the library by 5:30pm.
- The winner will be drawn from all eligible Beanstack and paper entries and will be notified at the contact information provided.
This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Southbury Public Library, free, and open to residents of any town in Grades 6-12.
