Our Summer Reading Challenge 2026 has begun! Swing by the bookstore to pick up your tracking sheet any time. The Summer Reading Challenge is basically a list of book ideas/themes for you, all arranged in a fun bingo format. For example, you’ll see things on the challenge like:

- Read a book set in South America
- Read a biography/memoir about someone you’ve never heard of
- Read with an animal on the cover
- Read a book with a protagonist that’s older than you
- Read a book with a one-word title
- Read a book set in Minnesota
- Etc

This guided challenge is designed to perhaps get you out of your comfort zone a little bit and introduce you to new books you might not have found otherwise.

We have two categories this summer -- adult and high school/middle school. Please ask the staff at the bookstore for the appropriate challenge and they'll get you started.

Five spaces in a row (up and down, side to side, or diagonal) makes a bingo. Bring your card in for a prize once you have a bingo! Prizes will vary depending on availability. They're different every year and we have a lot of fun putting them together! One card per person. One prize per person.

Books must be read between June 1 and August 31. Deadline for prizes is August 31 at 6 pm.

Thanks for playing!
