Livingston Library
Community,
We are excited to
announce the second year of our Fall Into Early Literacy Game.
Designed for preschoolers aged 5 and under, including toddlers
and babies, our bingo game is a fun way to encourage you to explore,
play, and learn together!
Mark off the squares
on the bingo card as you read and complete activities, such as “Take
a Nature Walk,” “Visit the Toddler Exploration Area,” or “Count the
Squirrels You See Outside.” Once you complete 5 squares in a row
vertically, horizontally, or diagonally (BINGO!), bring your board to
the Youth Services Desk for a fun prize! If you complete the entire
bingo board, return to the Youth Services Desk to claim a coupon good
for one item from the Friends of the Livingston Library Book Sale and
enter a raffle drawing for a chance to win more fun prizes, including
a $50 Barnes & Noble gift card!
