Adult Summer Reading Challenges
Participate in Adult Summer Reading through Beanstack. Write reviews and complete challenges for a chance to win prizes from local businesses! Summer reading is a great time to discover all of the things the library has to offer. Try finding a movie on Kanopy that links to the book you’re reading, borrow one of our museum passes for a day trip, learn more about the non-fiction topic you’re investigating, check out a book in new genre for the first time! Don't forget e-Resources for magazines, games, plus you can check out books, audiobooks, and more through through Libby and hoopla.
Adults can choose to track reading through Beanstack and/or pick up a Bingo Card! Get a Bingo in any direction, then stop by the Abington Free Library, show your Bingo card at the Information Desk and fill out a raffle ticket for a chance to win an After Hours Pizza Party for 10 and the library! Get another bingo and stop in to pick a prize from our treasure chest at the Information Desk. Each Bingo wins a prize.
However you choose to participate, join the challenge with us from June 21-August 15!
The last day to turn in your Bingo card is Friday, August 21. The Pizza Party winner will be drawn on August 24.
