Books & Bites Bingo Reading Challenge, Summer-Fall Edition

Teens and adults, from now through Dec. 30, 2025, keep track of books you read or listen to by writing the title and author in the matching square. You may pair any prompt with an asterisk with a prompt without an asterisk. You can’t use a title more than twice.

Complete all 25 squares for a chance to win a $100 Joseph-Beth gift card. You’ll also earn an enamel pin (while supplies last).

During the month of December, turn in your completed card at the Ask a Librarian, Customer Service, or Teen Desks, or submit your card online.

Learn more in our blog post, Challenge Yourself with Books & Bites Bingo.
