Adult Summer Reading
Adult Summer Reading runs Tuesday May 27 – Friday August 29.
To participate, sign up at the front desk to receive a bingo board. Read books and audiobooks within the listed bingo categories, then visit the library to have library staff stamp the categories you’ve read and hand you raffle tickets. Participation is limited to FCL patrons and Freeport citizens.
You can earn bonus raffle tickets for:
1) each bingo completed;
2) filling out and returning up to three Recommendation forms; and
3) reading ReadME titles. The 2025 recommending author Julia Bouwsma has selected Nick Fuller Googin’s The Great Transition and Jennifer Lunden’s American Breakdown as this year’s reads.
