The 4th & Court Bookshop and Makerspace is encouraging reading with a book bingo.

Audrey Kiem, who owns and operates the shop, said spring is a busy time for many, which causes reading to fall by the wayside. She’s hoping the book bingo will give people a greater incentive to set aside time in their schedules for reading.

Participants are instructed to take a photo of themselves completing each activity as proof. Those that complete a bingo can visit the 4th & Court shop for a small prize from one of their vendors. Each bingo also counts as an entry into a gift card to be drawn when the event ends on May 11
