The James V. Brown Library, 19 E. Fourth St., has planned two family book bingo events to help children build their home library this holiday season.

The two events are scheduled for 2:30-3:30 p.m. November 28 and 12:30-1:30 p.m. December 10 in the Lowry Room.

Children ages birth to 18 are invited to come and play book bingo to win a book to take home. Parents and caregivers are expected to stay in the room and help children identify items on the card.

Multiple rounds will be played. Families are welcome to stay for as many games as you would like to play but only one book per child will be won. There will be other small prizes for winning additional games.

The Brown Library is part of a national “Libraries Transform” effort to increase awareness of the changing role of libraries and the ways in which libraries are transforming to meet the information needs of their users.
