You don't have to yell "BINGO!" at the top of your lungs, but you can fill out an online survey at the end of the year for a chance to win a prize pack.
 

Not sure what to read for some of the categories? We're here to help! We'll give recommendations throughout the year, so keep checking back. You can also ask your friendly neighbourhood librarian, or use NoveList, an online database of reading suggestions. Happy reading and good luck!
