Since 2015, we’ve partnered every summer with The Seattle Public Library—and now, King County Library System as well!—to put on Summer Book Bingo, a free summer reading program.
From May – September, adults and kids play Book Bingo to prioritize reading, connect with community, and be entered for the chance to win fabulous prizes. In 2025, 2,855 adult and teen cards were turned in, with 845 of those cards being blackouts. We received 144 kids cards with 106 blackouts. (What’s a blackout? When you read 24 books in one summer!)
We hear from readers of all ages how this program strengthens relationships—how participants use Summer Book Bingo to connect with family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and beyond—and how this program encourages people to expand their reading horizons by reading across genres and lived experiences.
We look forward to reading with you this summer!
