Summer Reading 2023

Peace, Love & Hugs: It’s a game of chase! For family readers, ages 6 and under, this challenge is a fun, easy way to keep young children engaged in reading, books, and words.  All you do is count the books anyone reads to your child. For every 12 books, your child will catch a heart, get a hug, and receive a small prize at the library.  The goal is to reach 72 books by July 28.

Peace, Love & Bingo: It’s a race to see who can get the most Bingos for those readers ages 6 to 12! All you have to do is read and count your minutes. For every Bingo you complete, you earn a small prize at the library. The goal is 15 hours by July 28 for those ages 6 to 9, and 25 hours for those ages 9 to 12.

Tournament Play: For teens including those just a few months shy of age 13 who are going to be 7^th graders in the fall, it’s a Battle of the Books to determine your BEST READ OF 2023! You choose the size of your tournament bracket by the number of books you challenge yourself to read this summer. We challenge you just to read and let us know how much you read. There will be small rewards waiting for you at the library for every 5 hours of reading you report. Your goal? To read at least 23 hours in the Summer of 23! (Your brain will appreciate it. Trust us!)

Game of Choice: For those 18 and up, you have a choice to play a special Library Lover’s Bingo Edition or conduct your own Battle of the Books to determine your BEST READ OF 2023!  All we really want you to do is lose yourself in a good book for a moment or two this summer. But by tracking your hours and reporting them to the library you are also helping us with our real goal: to nurture a culture of reading for all in our community. 

Peace, Love & Bingo: Kindness Edition is all about making kindness your superpower this summer! Complete the kindness challenges on the card to get a BINGO! Come to the library to share your good deeds and claim your extra chance to win one of our Peace Prizes.

Peace, Love & Bingo: Groovy Vibes Edition is all about letting the good times roll and exploring what it was like to be a kid back in the 1960s! Complete the groovy vibes challenges on the card to get a BINGO! Bring all those good vibes to the library to claim your extra chance to win one of our Peace Prizes.

Peace, Love & Bingo: Family Edition is your chance to make some special memories with your family. As a family, pick some of the challenges on the card you would enjoy completing together. When you get a BINGO, come to the library to claim a special family prize. There are three levels of family prizes so make it a goal to get 3 BINGOS this summer!
