Summer Reading for all ages takes place June 1 through August 31! Pick up a bingo card in person at any BPL location or download one online.
Participants may visit any BPL location to receive a Summer Reading tote bag, while supplies last.* Once you complete bingo, you may visit any BPL location to receive a Summer Reading sticker, while supplies last.
This year, participants can choose a bingo card designed specifically for children, teens, or adults with reading challenges and other fun summer activities. Adults who want an extra challenge can choose the Read More card instead of the classic Adult bingo card. Bingo cards are also available in languages other than English.
* BPL Summer Reading tote bags are on their way! When you visit any BPL location and pick up a bingo card, staff will take down your name and email address. We'll notify you when your bag is ready for pick-up!
Looking for a way to give back this summer? Set your reading goal and join the BPL Fund’s Summer Readathon! Invite friends and family to sponsor your challenge. Every dollar you raise supports Youth Summer Reading at the BPL, fueling engaging programs and learning opportunities for children & teens all over Boston. Readers of all ages are welcome—and caregivers, please sign up on behalf of your kids!
