It's Time for Winter Reading Bingo!
This winter, ascend to new heights with the Pacific University Libraries’ 2026 Winter Reading Bingo Challenge! From Nov. 14th until Feb. 6th, read three or more books and receive fun pins and prizes.
Here’s how you can participate:
- Pick up a bingo card at the Tran or Hillsboro Campus Library, or download the pdf.
- 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 fits multiple prompts. If you read three in a row, that’s a bingo! If you read all nine, 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 Hillsboro Campus library (or email it to libraryhelp@pacificu.edu if you’re participating remotely) by February 6th, 2027, and receive a cool pin for getting bingo, a super cool bonus pin if you get blackout, and up to three prize entries (one per bingo)!
Whether you’re an avid reader, out of the reading habit, or just looking for a reprieve from doom-scrolling this holiday season, this challenge is for you! Remember: the goal is to read three (or more) books in three months. You’ve absolutely got this! You can choose novels, memoirs, graphic novels, audiobooks, poetry collections, and more, so explore what interests you! As long as it’s a book that fits one of the prompts, it counts for this challenge.
A sampling of books that fit one or more of this winter’s prompts are currently on display in the Tran Library, so come take a look (and maybe a book)!
For assistance with finding books that suit your interests, ask the library! You can:
- Email us at libraryhelp@pacificu.edu
- Chat with us online during staffed hours
- Call the Tran Library at 503-352-1400 or the Hillsboro Campus Library at 503-352-7331
- Or chat with us in-person at either campus location during open hours
Good luck, and happy reading!
