Winter Reading Challenge
Adult Bingo Reading Challenge
During the next couple of months when the most sensible thing to do is curl up with a good book, we invite you to play Winter Reading Bingo with us at the Library! This is a reading challenge for adults, like summer reading for kids, but in the winter starting January 15th!
It’s easy to join. Just pick up a Bingo Card at the North, East, or Main Branches of the Falmouth Public Library or download and print out your own Bingo Card. Read books to get a Bingo then turn the card in to receive a small gift (a FPL themed sticker) and be entered into a random drawing to win a prize – a $50 gift card to Eight Cousins!
For a special bonus entry do our Try Bingo Card, which asks you to explore the online resources of the Falmouth Public Library!
