Fall Bingo has arrived here at the Chelmsford Public Library!

If you’re looking for a way to challenge yourself to read a little more or to broaden your reading horizons, why not grab a Fall Bingo card and jump right in?  Some of the boxes are easy: “Recommend a book to someone you know” or “Read a book outdoors or by a window.”  Others are a little more challenging: “Read a cozy mystery by a non-white author” or “Read a book that features baking or includes a recipe.”  For these more specific boxes, we’ve done the work for you!  Check out our “Fall Bingo” display on the first floor where you will find books that meet the requirements.  We’ve got #BookTok recommendations, books with “fall” in the title, and books written by Indigenous authors.  You can check some of the boxes without doing any reading—sharing this bingo with someone you know checks a box, as does commenting or liking one of our social media posts.  There’s even a free square if you have a library card OR sign up for one.

Once you’ve completed a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line or checked off each of the four corner squares, drop off your completed card at the Reader Services desk or snap a photo and send it to jiatron@chelmsfordlibrary.org.  The deadline to complete your card is November 22^nd, and we’ll be awarding prizes after that.  Fall is a great time to make a new or renewed commitment to reading, and Fall Bingo is a fantastic way to freshen up that TBR pile.  We can’t wait to help you with recommendations and receive your completed card!
