It's Time for Summer Reading Bingo!
This summer, explore new worlds with the Pacific University Libraries’ 2026 Summer Reading Challenge! From now until Sept. 12th, grab a bingo card and read your way to fun pins and prizes.
Here’s how:
- Pick up a bingo card at the Tran or Hillsboro Campus Library, or download the pdf here.
- Read books that fit the prompts and write their titles and authors in the bingo squares. Each book can only be used for one square, even if it meets multiple prompts. If you read five in a row, that’s a bingo! If you read all 25, that’s a blackout! (If you fill out multiple bingo cards, that’s incredible!)
- Turn your card in to the front desk of the Tran or HC library (or email it to libraryhelp@pacificu.edu if you’re participating remotely) by September 12th, 2026, and receive a cool pin for getting bingo, a super cool bonus pin if you get blackout, and up to five prize entries (one per bingo)!
Want to play but don’t know where to start? Struggling to find a book that fits one of the prompts? Just curious about what books the folks at the Libraries recommend? Check out our Recommended Reading List for book recs for (almost) every prompt! Pick up a brochure at the Tran or HC Library or peruse the full list here. Some of these books are on display in the Tran Library, so come take a look (and maybe a book)!
We also have Extended Summer Checkouts available, so you can take some books with you over the break! Just let the staff at the front desk know that you’d like to check out books for the summer, and you can keep them until September 12th.
The folks at the Pacific University Libraries hope you all have a wonderful summer, and we wish you happy reading!
