Adult Summer Reading 2024
Adult Summer Reading at the Boston Public Library is an annual bingo board with 24 reading and activity challenges to be completed between June 1 and August 31. This year we have added a second Read More bingo board that challenges you to read 24 books for an even greater challenge. Choose between the two boards or, for the truly ambitious, complete both!
Fill out your bingo card with what you read and did between Saturday, June 1, 2024, and Saturday, August 31, 2024. Click the blue button below to download your bingo card.
We want to see what you’ve been up to! When you are ready to share what you have read this summer, you can upload your card digitally here at bpl.org/bingo or email it to bingo@bpl.org. You can also turn in your card at any open BPL location. Please submit your card by end of day on August 31.
