Danbury Library invites readers of all ages to get cozy with a great book during the 2026 Winter Reading Bingo Challenge, taking place from January 1 through February 28, 2026. The start of a new year is the ideal moment to refocus on self‐improvement, so why not make reading part of your 2026 goals? Jump‐start a new reading habit by joining Danbury Library’s “Winter Reading Challenge.”
Participants can pick up a Winter Reading Bingo board at any service desk in the library and complete reading and activity prompts to earn chances at exciting prizes.

Completing one full row on the bingo card enters readers to win a cozy winter gift basket generously donated by the Friends of the Danbury Library. Those who complete the entire board will earn a second entry into the prize drawing.
If participants need help finding a book to match a square, they can explore curated booklists created by Danbury librarians on the library’s website, danburylibrary.org/winter-read.
This year’s grand prize basket includes winter comfort items plus four passes to Danbury Ice Arena, good for 1.5 hours of ice skating with skate rental included, offering a perfect way to celebrate the season on and off the page. All completed bingo cards must be returned by the end of the day on February 28. The prize drawing will take place on March 3, 2026, and the winner will be contacted directly by library staff.
