At Home Bingo! – Demarest Free Public Library

At Home Bingo is over. Thanks for participating!

Rules

To play, complete five of the categories on the card in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line, or all four of the corner squares.
You’ll need a library card – if you don’t have one already, sign up at bccls.org/eCard
Any square that starts “Borrow and…” means you must borrow the book, movie, TV series, magazine, or music album from the library, either in physical or digital format.
Any square that starts “Read…” can be a book you own – but of course we recommend that you take advantage of the library’s collections!
Keep track of what you read, watch, and do! When submitting a completed card, email demacirc@bccls.org with your name, library card number, the squares you completed, and proof of completion.
- For books, movies, magazines, music, TV series, and newspaper articles, tell us the title and author of what you read or watched.
- If you attended on online program, tell us the name of the program.
- If you read aloud to someone, recommended a book, or received a recommendation, tell us the title and author of what was recommended or read.
- If you interacted with us on social media, tell which platform you used.
- If you practiced a language on Rosetta Stone, tell us which language.
You can submit more than one card if you complete a different horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line.

Completed cards will be entered into a prize raffle!
