Why should the Youth Dept. have all the fun?

Summertime at the library is a busy time. The children and teens are often involved in the Summer Reading Program, but my question to you is, why should the youth department have all of the fun? So, this year the Marshall Public Library is presenting a summer program just for adults. Sign-up begins June 1st at the Reader’s Advisor desk; registration is required. The Adult Summer Library BINGO Challenge is going to last through the summer until August 15.
This challenge is not just reading books. Other challenges include returning your materials on time, posting a comment on the library’s blog, and even checking out a new book.
Each square on the bingo card has a different challenge. As with regular Bingo, participants must get five in a row for Bingo. A completed Bingo earns an entry in the prize drawing. A Blackout, all five rows completed, earns five additional entries in the drawing. There will be some fun prizes too that are made possible through donations from local businesses.
Come in and sign up today for the Adult Summer Library BINGO Challenge. Registration is limited. The sign up period is June 1 through June 30. Be among the first to register and receive a bookmark.

  4. Thanks for offering this program. My four kids have been doing the summer reading program for 12 years, and I've always been a bit jealous! (Now I get to check off #18!)
