All ages can play County of San Luis Obispo Public Libraries Cozy Winter Reading BINGO game
San Luis Obispo County, CA Readers of all ages are invited to track their reading on a BINGO card for fun and prizes during the County of San Luis Obispo Public Libraries Cozy Winter Reading challenge happening January 2 – February 14.
To play, readers complete five book-related activities in a row (across, vertically, or diagonally) on a BINGO card for a prize. Blackout BINGO (all squares completed) qualifies readers for grand prize drawings.
BINGO cards are available at all 14 County of SLO Public Libraries locations.
A BINGO card adds a fun twist to a reading challenge. “The activities on the card aren’t difficult, but they ask readers to explore different ideas, genres, and library offerings,” said Erica Thatcher, spokesperson for the libraries. “Readers get a thank-you gift for playing and visiting the library, but they also get the satisfaction of reading for fun and watching their card fill up.”
Grand prizes include a family board games bundle and a cozy winter reading basket from Karson Butler Events Ah Louis Store in San Luis Obispo.
Shop the library online at SLOLibrary.org for books and to reserve items for pickup at 14 library locations.
