Vinterfest Bingo Reading Challenge 2026

The Vinterfest Bingo Reading Challenge is back! Last year readers were challenged to try different genres and reach a reading minute goal. This year we're changing it up, and in addition to a 300-minute reading goal (an average of only 10 minutes a day!), we're challenging patrons to branch out and try new recommendations, participate in Vinterfest activities, spend time outside, and make a book recommendation of their own! Readers can find more information about challenge requirements and how to participate at beanstack.org and on the Beanstack app.

Reward opportunities:

-Complete a bingo! Earn 5 badges in a row horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Bingo = A magnetic bookmark (tons of fun designs to choose from!)

-Complete a full card! Earn all 16 badges and have your name entered into a grand prize drawing for a free 4-hour room reservation in the Loft for you and 19 other pals, plus some complimentary Mandan Bucks to grab a snack to share!

*Must be a MMPL patron to participate. Bismarck patrons can participate in the Vinterfest Bingo Reading Challenge through the Bismarck Public Library. All ages welcome to participate!
