Learn about your Idaho Falls Public Library as you get a bingo, then a blackout, and earn prizes.

One bingo: a Book

Blackout: Coupon to a local business and a soup mug.

  • Record your book titles or secret codes, or complete the activity for each square.
  • If you need any help finding a book to fit a category, ask a librarian or pick up a reading list on the 3rd floor.
  • Prizes will be available as long as supplies last, and the prizes must be picked up by February 24, 2024.
