The reading game for children has been a staple of summers at the Library for years — but why should the kids have all the fun? This year, the Library is launching a summer reading game for adults and teens 9th grade and up. To be part of it:
- Stop by the reference desk anytime to register and pick up a BINGO type card. Everyone who registers will receive a Pelham Library drink Koozie (while supplies last).
- Write down the titles you have read this summer (June –September 2018) in the appropriate boxes and try to get a BINGO by completing a straight or diagonal line. (You may not enter the same title in more than one box.)
- Once you have gotten a BINGO, turn in your completed card to the Librarian at the Reference Desk and discuss the books you have read. The deadline to turn in your card is Friday, September 28, 2018 in order to enter our raffle for our grand prize — a Kindle E-reader!
Questions? Call Librarian Augusta Turner at 914-813-1216.
