This year, families can participate together and work toward their goals and prizes as one!
Goals
Families must read a total of 2 hours each week. You can read together or independently. Locate the Level Up Bingo in the back of the library's newsletter (or pick one up at the desk!) and you will be entered to win bigger prizes.
Tracking
Use the reading chart to log progress for the whole family. Count your time reading together or the time each member spends reading alone. Each week you are encouraged to report your progress and pick up a prize. The family that reports the most hours read will win our GRAND PRIZE!
Weekly Fun
Don't forget to participate in library programs! We have events for the whole family. Check the library's website calendar, newsletter, or Facebook page, or call for dates and times.
End of Summer Award Ceremony
On August 12, 2025 at 5pm, all participants that completed the program are welcome to celebrate with us at Level Up Lego Night. All logs are due by August 7th. Join us for food, Lego building fun, awards, and more!

Goals
We're all busy, so this year, rather than books completed, we're tracking reading time and activities. Pick up a bingo sheet from the reference desk all summer long.
Tracking
For adults, we have a bingo sheet with specific activities, tasks, and challenges on it. If you get a bingo in any direction, you can come to the library for a prize — a free roll coupon from local business and library sponsor Tastee Rolls!
If you complete the whole bingo board, you can turn it in for a bigger prize — 2 free admissions to a show at the Cernan Space Center at Triton College!
Scavenger Hunt
Adults finally get to join in on the scavenger hunt fun! Pick up a scavenger hunt sheet at the reference desk and get searching. All the answers are in the library. Complete this and win a sweet treat!
End of Summer
All bingo sheets and scavenger hunt logs are due by August 7th.
Adult Prizes
For your bingo and reading goals, adults can win the following:
- Tickets to the American Writers Museum
- Tickets to the Cernan Space Center
- Free Tastee Roll coupons
