Summertime!

It’s time for muddy feet and reading on the deck!

We want to know what you’re reading and we want to give your kids some incentives to read even more. This summer, we’re changing the program a little bit to make it more fair for the older kids whose books are bigger.

This year we have a summer reading bingo sheet which you can download here.

For every five across, down, or diagonal, you get a bingo punch. At 5 bingos, kids age 6-12 will receive a free paperback for $10 or less and kids age 13-17, will receive a $10 credit toward the book of your choice. At 10 bingos, you will receive all that plus a Rocco stuffie as well. We wish we could go higher but we’ll go out of business if we give away too many books!

Don’t forget to show your work so that we can give you credit. We need to know which books you read. The sheet has room on the back to list the books you read for each bingo. Get creative! For some books, you can cross off more than one box on the sheet. We’ll be checking your work when you turn in your sheets and we would love to see a wide variety from each kid.

We’ll have punch cards at our registers for kids through age 17 to track their bingos.

The program will run through September 1, 2025.
