Summer Reading Challenge

Join the challenge! Read books and get bingo by the end of summer for the chance to win fabulous prizes

UM Summer Reading Challenge

Join the challenge running June 1 - August 15!

Stay connected with friends and colleagues this summer! The Mansfield Library is running a Summer Reading Challenge from June 1 until August 15 open to all employees and students!

Can you get bingo before the start of Autumn semester? All you need to do is commit to reading 4-5 books by the end of summer. Everyone who turns in their bingo card to to the library will be entered to win one of our fabulous prizes (trust us, they're good ones).


Here's how to join:

  1. Pick up your bingo card from the library circulation desk (or download it yourself from this guide).
    • If you want to go for a blackout, pick up a special blackout card from the reference desk or download it here.
  2. Choose your own adventure: select reading categories and try to get bingo!
  3. Cross out the category on the bingo card as you finish each book. Record your progress on the back of the card.
  4. Once you have bingo, return your card to the library checkout desk for a sticker and to be entered for the chance to win one of our prizes! If you turn in a blackout card, you'll be entered twice.

* Each book you read can only count for one bingo category!
