Our Winter Reading Challenge begins January 5 at PCDL!

Pre-registration begins December 15!

PCDL is challenging all ages to read, complete activities and visit the library this winter!

Meet the Challenge

Starting January 5, participants can complete activities & log reading minutes to earn badges in order to complete a Bingo on the Bingo Card for a chance to win some awesome prize baskets! Register by visiting your local PCDL branch or online by visiting Beanstack. Once you earn a badge, you will receive virtual tickets to enter to win a prize basket, accrue tickets to redeem for a prize from the prize tier or pick up a small prize at our library branches.

This challenge is for all ages, so anyone can sign up and participate! To complete the challange, participants only need to complete the bingo up/down, left/right or diagonally. You can earn more tickets if you complete the entire bingo card.

How does the prize tier work?

Earn tickets as you read—and trade them in for fun rewards!

Prizes come in four tiers: 4 Tickets, 8 Tickets, 12 Tickets, 16 Tickets (Top Tier!)

How Redemption Works: 

Redeem Anytime! Once you earn enough tickets for a 4, 8 or 12 ticket prize, you may redeem them right away. Note:

Redeeming a 4, 8 or 12 ticket prize resets your ticket total to zero, and you’ll begin collecting again. If you earn all 16 tickets, you can earn a 16-tier prize, or mix and match! All prizes must be redeemed in person at any PCDL branch. Staff will verify your ticket amount and help you claim your prize. 

Don't want to wait to claim a prize from a prize tier? No worries! Just stop in to your PCDL branch to claim a small prize instead of compiling your tickets.
