Up your reading game with the Spring Books & Bites Bingo reading challenge!
A reading challenge is a great way to set reading goals for yourself, discover new authors and genres, and have fun while doing it.
How Do I Play?
From April 1, 2026 through June 30, 2026, keep track of books you read or listen to by writing the title and author in the matching square. You may pair the prompt with an asterisk with one prompt without an asterisk. For teens and adults.
Complete all 9 squares for a chance to win a $50 Joseph-Beth gift card! You’ll also earn a special Books & Bites bookmark.
During the month of June, turn in your completed card at the Customer Service or Teen Desks, or use the form on our website.
