Program Description

Winter Reading for Kids

Bloomington Library’s Winter Reading Program for Kids (ages 0-11) is underway!

December 14-January 10:

  • BINGO board reading logs -- used to track Winter Reading progress -- will be available at Curbside Pickup, at Bookmobile stops, and online at bit.ly/bplwinterlog20

January 2- January 10:

  • Completion awards will be available for pickup
  • Entries will be accepted for our six prize drawings.
    (Prizes available in the  drawings are outlined on the back side of the reading log.)

Program Details

  • As you complete activities outlined on the reading log, color the associated squares.
  • When you've colored 5 squares in a row (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) you've achieved Bingo!
  • After you've achieved Bingo, return your Bingo board reading log to Curbside Pickup or the Bookmobile to claim a small completion award and enter our Winter Reading for Kids prize drawings.

The Bookmobile schedule can be viewed at bit.ly/bookmobile112020.
