Hello ladies, gentlemen, and other assorted fellows!
Reston Regional Library is doing a book bingo this month, and it’s super fun! All you have to do is read a row of three books (up, down, or diagonal), and email restonlibtab@gmail.com your completed board!
I’ve put the link right above this message for easy access. Remember, if you need help finding books, don’t be shy about asking the librarians!
Happy reading!
