How to play book bingo

It's simple:

• You just have to read or listen to five different books that allow you to complete a row of five boxes (horizontally, vertically or diagonally).
• When you've read or listened to a book that corresponds to one of the boxes, write the name of the book in the box.
• When you have filled in a row, you can enter a prize draw to win a bag of books!

Enter the draw on social media

Submit your entry by posting a photo of a completed line on your bingo card, with five book titles filled in, to Surrey Libraries' Facebook, Twitter or Instagram: @surreylibrariesUK @SurreyLibraries @surrey.librariesuk.
