Winter Reading Challenge

Winter Reading 2025 │ Coming in January 2025!

Be a Reading Machine this January with this fun bingo challenge for all ages!

We invite readers of all ages to join the all-ages Winter Reading Bingo Challenge! Auglaize County Libraries will be kicking off their Winter Reading Challenge while incorporating Beanstack's Bingo board feature. Readers will earn fun badges for logging the minutes they read, completing activities, submitting book reviews, and earning bingo. Readers must submit tickets by January 31 for a chance to win. 

This year, readers will log their reading minutes and activities in Beanstack or on paper to cross off squares on their Bingo board. Try to cross off as many bingo squares as you can by January 31! Each bingo square earns you a chance to enter for the prize drawings. A few examples of this year's prizes are depicted below. 

Any reader who completes a coverall (or covers their entire board) will earn a free food coupon donated by Arby's of Wapakoneta!

Along with the Reading Challenge, our libraries are also hosting a full lineup of fun events this January--from The Wild Robot movie showings and book clubs, to maker days and creative crafts-- you can find it all on our online calendar. 

To get ready for the Challenge, you can log in or register on the Beanstack app or website. If you have not yet joined Beanstack, it's free and easy to do. With Beanstack, you can easily log your reading, earn badges, and enter for prizes for all your family members right from your computer or mobile device. 

The Winter Reading Challenge will run from January 1-31, 2025. Prize winners will be contacted in February 2025 for when and where to pick up prizes. Prizes must be picked up in person; no prizes will be mailed.
