Book Bingo for Adults: Are You Up for the Challenge?

We’ve challenged our younger readers before—now it’s time for the adults to join the fun!

This fall, MEL invites you to take part in Book Bingo for Adults, a two-month reading challenge designed to encourage you to explore the diversity of our collection, discover new authors, and perhaps pick up a book you might not normally choose.

Beginning October 1, pick up your Book Bingo card at MEL. The card features 25 different reading categories. Each time you finish a book that fits one of the categories, mark the corresponding space and record the author and title on the back of your card.

How many can you complete before December?

Cards must be returned to the MEL front desk by December 1. The reader who completes the most categories will win—but this time, the prize is especially fitting for a book lover:

First Place: Choose three new books to be added to MEL’s collection.
Second Place: Choose two new books to be added to MEL’s collection.

In the event of a tie for the top spots, the two leading readers will each get to choose three new books for the Library.

You have two months and 25 categories. How many different corners of MEL’s collection can you explore?

Pick up your card beginning October 1 and accept the challenge!

Book Bingo for Adults is sponsored by MEL’s LCC.
