Summer is here and it's time for some fun! Pick up a BINGO sheet from the library and fill them out while doing fun activities around town, at home, and in the library! The theme this year is Plant a Seed, Read&nbsp;and is rooted in the concept of farm to table. Try some new activities like gardening, cooking, visiting farmer's markets, and using the library's Seed Library.
Stop by the Main Library or the Ora Mason Library to pick up a BINGO sheet to get started! Every sheet you complete and return to the library is one entry into a raffle for a chance to win a gift card.&nbsp;This year we have three different raffles you can be entered into. The Main Library and the Ora Mason Library each have one raffle that you will be entered into if you return at least one BINGO sheet to that library. (Return one or more to each library to enter both raffles and have a better chance to win!) Finally, we have a raffle for both locations. Everyone who returns five BINGO sheets will be entered into a raffle to win a $50 gift card. Please feel free to contact the library with any questions or for more information!


Participate anytime between July 1st and August 31st!&nbsp;BINGO sheets can be picked up and returned at either of our locations, 300 Elm Street, or 260 Benham Hill Road, and can be returned strategically at both for entry into more than one raffle. For more information, please contact the library at (203) 937-4233 ext. 2Thank you to Lorenzo’s Ristorante, 744 West, Nick’s Luncheonette, and Stowe’s Seafood for donating the prizes for this year’s Adult Summer Reading Challenge!
