adrian_turtle came home yesterday with a copy of the Somerville Public Library's bingo card, which is more specifically focused on that library--there's are boxes for borrowing something from the Library of Things and using a museum/cultural pass, both of which I think require specifically a Somerville library card, as well as one for something from their "new horror books" shelf, along with "start a language course using Mango" and "an Agatha Christie book."
They're offering a "small prize" each for up to five completed lines/columns/diagonals, plus a raffle ticket for anyone who completes the entire card.
Meanwhile, the King County Library is asking people to set a goal of reading at least n minutes a day, and mark a circle every day they reach that goal, with prizes for 25 and 50 circles/days. The Seattle Public Library bingo card has a few squares for categories of author (such as "indigenous" or "trans/nonbinary" author) along with "joyful," "older protagonist," "hip-hop" and "chosen for the cover." For all of these, the card has to be turned in in person; I looked at King County and Seattle because I [somehow] still have valid library cards there, which I use to borrow ebooks; this sample suggests that a lot of other libraries are doing something similar. [I am now going to see what if anything other Minuteman libraries are doing.]
