Winter Reading Program

PROGRAM FOR AGES 0-18:

Visit the Children’s Help Desk to pick up your color-by-number sheet to get started on this month-long reading challenge for children and teens. Participants will earn a free book and a kid’s coupon from program sponsor, Red Robin, to keep the good vibes going. (Tip: Adults have their own reading program, too! Visit the Recommendations Desk on the first floor to learn more.) All color-by-number sheets must be turned in by Wednesday, January 31 in order to receive a prize.

PROGRAM FOR AGES 18+:

This challenge can be completed through the Beanstack app (dubuque.beanstack.org) or with a physical bingo card available at the first-floor Recommendations Desk. Start the challenge by reading “Where We Come From,” a picture book for all ages available to read on hoopla. Earn squares on your virtual or physical bingo cards by logging your reading minutes from books that explore themes of family, history, or identity. Completing one regular bingo will give you an entry into a prize drawing at the end of the challenge. Limit of one entry per person. Physical bingo cards must be submitted to the Recommendations Desk by Feb. 2. Virtual bingo cards will be automatically submitted through the Beanstack app.
