Bookshelf Bingo—summer reading for
adults—began on Thursday, June 1, and will
conclude on Thursday, Aug. 31. Interested
adults may register for the program at the
upper level reference desk. We will once again
offer our bingo sheet, and for each book you
read, you get a stamp and an entry to win
a prize. When you get a Bingo, you get an
