For example, books that either have a red cover, red in the title, or red in the name of the author will be included in each book list category. Reading a book from one of the color categories earns you one raffle ticket, in person at the information desk or online. Keep track of your progress by using our bingo boards which are available at the Information Desk or online.Read More Read More
