Who can participate?

Anyone (of any age!) who lives in one of our service areas (Arrowsic, Bath, Georgetown, West Bath, Woolwich), has a PFL Library card (including non-resident cards), or attends an RSU1 school or school located within the Library service area.

How do I register?

Register here or visit the Children’s Room or Reference desk to register in person at the library.

What if I’m going on vacation?  Do I have to be here for the whole 6 weeks?

No! You can play as much or as little as you want.  Some things, such as Reading Tickets and certain Bingo squares, can even be completed anywhere.  The more you play, the more opportunities you have to win prizes!

How do I win prizes?

• Summer Reading Registration gets you 1 free book (to keep!) from our summer selection.
• Completing 1 classic bingo gets you a plant kit surprise and coupon to the library bookstore (limited to 1 bingo per person).
• Completing a bingo blackout gets you a farmers market tote bag and entry into our Summer Reading raffle.
• Completing a Reading Ticket gets you entered into a prize drawing.

How do I play bingo?

Collect your bingo sheet once you register.  Complete a classic bingo by crossing off 5 squares in a row; either across, up and down, or diagonal. Complete a blackout by crossing out all squares. 1 square = 1 activity (you cannot use 1 book to cross off 2 squares!)

Can I win bingo multiple times?

You only get one bingo sheet for the whole summer, so keep it safe! Each prize can be earned only once per person.

How do Reading Tickets Work?

Reading Tickets are available at registration and throughout the summer and are open to all ages.  To play:

• Cross off a book each time you read 20 minutes (1 ticket=1 hour)
• Fill up a whole ticket and enter to win a prize at PFL!
• Place the ticket in the corresponding envelope to the prize you want.
• Fill out as many cards as you want from June 22 – Aug 15
• Winners will be notified the week of August 17

How can I find materials to read?

Browse our shelves to find books, magazines, audiobooks, and graphic novels, place a hold, or check out our digital books, audiobooks, comics and magazines!  You can always ask a staff member for recommendations or reading lists or take a look online at our staff picks and Children’s Shout Outs. We are here to help!
