Eyes down for a full house, as Reading Bingo launches at Lincs Inspire Libraries this summer.
Children can experience the joy of reading in a fun and interactive way, discovering books, collecting stickers and winning prizes.
One lucky entrant will be drawn at random to win a Samsung Galaxy Tablet, which can be used to access the Lincs Inspire eLibrary Apps – Libby and BorrowBox.
Derek O’Connell, library development officer, said: “Clickety Click…66! We’ve all been practising our bingo calls, and we’re set to sign up lots of young readers this summer. We’re hoping this will be the start of a lifelong love of reading for many, encouraging a discovery of new authors, genres and books. Let’s make it a full house in our libraries!”
Children up to the age of sixteen can register for free at Cleethorpes, Immingham and Waltham library branches from July 1.
Local actors Joe Parfrement-Parkes and Sara Beasley will also host a series of free Summer Bingo events with games and entertainment for all the family, as part of their comedy duo the Shenanigans.
Hourly sessions must be booked in advance and take place at 2pm and 3pm:
- Cleethorpes Library – Tuesday 19th August
- Waltham Library – Wednesday 20th August
- Immingham Library – Tuesday 26th August
Adult summer reading bingo also takes place alongside the children’s game. Residents in North East Lincolnshire are inspired to read more this summer for the chance to win cash prizes.
