Summer Reading is here!
Watch our fun Summer Reading Video and then visit our Summer Reading Page to register for the 2020 program! It’s really simple this year, sign up, get a FREE book to keep and a BINGO sheet, complete the BINGO sheet, let us know by taking a picture and emailing Jill, joconnor@yarmouthlibrary.org, or Mary, mrandall@yarmouthlibrary.org, or putting your name on it and dropping it in our Book Drop and get another FREE book to keep. So easy!
If you want to complete your BINGO activities using an app, you can also sign up for Beanstack. Beanstack allows you to register and then complete the BINGO activities using the free Beanstack app, which can be found in whichever app store you use. Once you register for Beanstack, you will see the “Current Challenge” and all of our activities are there as badges. Just like with the paper BINGO sheet, complete all of the badges and get your second FREE book.
