Bookish Bingo Olympics

Location: Chincoteague Island Library, 4077 Main Street, Chincoteague Island, VA 23336
Starts: 12:01 AM
Ends: 2:00 PM

In honor of the Winter Olympics kicking off on February 6th, the Chincoteague Island Library is hosting our very own Olympics! 🏅

They may look a little different here at the library, but we firmly believe that reading should be an Olympic sport. That’s why we’ve created a Bookish Bingo Olympics, and we want you to participate!

Complete one bingo to earn a bronze medal, two bingos for a silver medal, and a full board wins gold—plus your name will be posted on our “Readers Podium Wall” AND entered into a raffle for a chance to win something cold and sweet, perfect for the Winter Olympics season ❄️🍦

Be sure to stop in starting on Monday to pick up your Bookish Bingo Olympics card! The Olympics will run from Monday, February 2nd through Saturday, February 28th, so you’ll have plenty of time to read, mark off your squares, and go for gold.

Ready, set, read! 📚🥇

(Participating Remotely? Take a photo of your marked Bingo card and email it to [email protected] with “Olympics” in the subject line.

Please include your contact information in the body of the email.

Your name will be added to the Readers Podium Wall, and you’ll be entered into the drawing. All emails must be received by February 27. Questions—call the library!)

The key to the Olympics is motion — how athletes run, throw, spin, push, and more. Matter in motion also impacts our everyday life and even dictates phenomena across the Universe.

The AstrOlympics project compares feats from the amazing athletes in the Olympics with the awesome spectacles of the cosmos.
