Weekly programs are on hiatus so kids can participate in Summer Reading. We'll resume in the fall.
Play Bingo! Win Prizes!
June 24th - July 29th
How it works:
- Come in to sign up. We have cards for ages 5 - Adult.
- Each square completed gets you a raffle ticket.
- Each Bingo gets an extra ticket.
- Place your raffle tickets in the bucket of the prize you hope to win! We have over 50 prizes this year!
Notes:
Children who bring in their bingo card each week get to pick a prize from the Treasure Chest.
Names for prizes will be drawn at the Finale on Tuesday, July 30th. Can't make it? No worries, we'll call you if you're a winner!
Rules:
- This is a 5-week program. As such, it is only open to cardholders that are able to participate all summer.

- Bingo cards must be turned in no later than Monday, July 29th at 7pm.
