2026 Reading Challenge and Bingo
This year, the Everett Public Libraries are challenging patrons to read 25 books – with a fun twist!
In addition to reading, you will be challenged to a game of BINGO. To get your bingo stamps, you will need to check out books and make use of many of the free resources available at the library. You must also come to library events throughout the year to earn a full bingo blackout!
Everyone who finishes the challenge with a bingo blackout will be entered to win in the Grand Prize Raffle at the end of the year!
The Friends of the Everett Public Libraries provide financial support for many of the wonderful programs and materials available to the patrons of the Everett Public Libraries. Thank you to the Friends for providing generous funding for the Grand Prize for the annual library reading challenges.
