How does the Summer Book Bingo work?
- Spend your summer reading great books and you can win prizes. Fill in a bingo card with the titles and authors of the books you've read between May 17th-September 5th. Book titles may be used only once per card.
What if I need some ideas for books for my bingo squares?
- For ideas crafted just for you, head to your local library (or fill out a brief form at spl.org/yournext5), and the super smart team at The Seattle Public Library will recommend five books just for you.
- Also, your fellow readers on Twitter and Instagram are a great resource; find them at #BookBingoNW2017
How can I win?
- Complete a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line and you will be entered into a drawing for a $30 gift card to an independent book store.
Fine Print: You are on your honor to read books before adding them to your Summer Book Bingo card. Cheating will invoke bad summer karma, which may include sunburn, ants at your picnic, and marauding mosquitos.
