Welcome to Tacoma Public Library’s Summer Reading Challenge 2023! We’re delighted to have readers of all ages join us. This year’s theme is “All Together Now!”
You can use a virtual or paper Bingo Card to track your progress. Log your reading and activities on a computer or mobile device with Beanstack, opens a new window. If you would like to use a paper Bingo Card download and print one here, or stop by any branch to pick one up. Find the Bingo Card for your age level and fill it in by reading and completing fun activities. Books, eBooks, magazines, graphic novels, and audiobooks can all be used to meet the reading requirements.
Stop by any library for a sign-up prize when you’ve started the challenge. You’ll also receive a prize when you are finished!
You can check out books and more from any of our eight locations. You can also access digital reading materials with your library card by using the Overdrive/Libby, and hoopla apps! Find everything you need to know about downloading and using these free apps on our A-Z Resources Page. The last day to complete the Summer Reading Club and pick up prizes is Saturday, August 12.
