Everything You Need To Know About Summer Reading Bingo 2022

The card, the rules, the prizes

UPDATE: You can find the 2023 Bingo Card here.

Welcome to the official What To Read If Summer Reading Bingo page.

How To Play

• Get a copy of your card here.

• Fill it in with books you read between now and Labor Day.

• We’ll run on the honor system, but I’m asking everyone to use each book for a single category (i.e. if you read a banned book by a new-to-you author, you can only use it for one square).

• Submit your final card here by Friday, September 9 (Don’t worry. I’ll remind you.) for the chance to win prizes.

• If you get Bingo, you’ll get one entry to the raffle. If you fill out your entire card, you’ll get two!
