Now through September 4th.

Here’s how it works:

First, you can look for a book that fits one of the Summer Reading BINGO card categories. If you’d like, you can print out a Bingo card at home otherwise, please keep track yourself. After you’ve read the book, fill out an online raffle ticket. If you get BINGO (up, down, across or diagonally) you will receive a bonus raffle ticket! Need some ideas on what to read? Ask a Reference librarian about using the catalog, NOVELIST or get a personalized book recommendation. Please call 914-834-2281 x3 M-F 9am-4:30pm or Saturday from 9am-12:30pm. We are also available by email at larchmontlibrary@wlsmail.org .

Prizes

This year, we have five raffle prizes for you to win. The more you read, the better chance you’ll have at winning one of these greats prizes! In the past, local businesses have generously supported the Larchmont Library by donating gifts. This year, however, many of these same businesses need our support- that’s why we have decided to purchase our raffle prizes from them. We encourage you to support them as well- our community needs us now more than ever! The businesses include: Andersons Larchmont, Apiary, Coriander, Larchmont Wine & Liquor, La Parisienne French Bakery, Post Wines & Spirits and Wine Gems.

Thanks for playing!
