Reminder that Book Bingo is happening this Sunday at Sykesville Town Hall. Come play bingo, win baskets with books, series, and other fun prizes (every prize includes a book). We also have a basket raffle and 50/50.
Our grand prize for our Blackout Bingo will be a prize basket of three books by local true- crime author James Baumgratz... and they are autographed! Other prize baskets include cozy mysteries, thrillers, dark romance, children's & teens, science fiction, and classic literature. Almost all of the books are hard covers, including some beautifully bound books with sprayed edges.
Tickets are available Saturday at the library from 9 am to 1 pm, and at the door on Sunday. $30 tickets include a catered meal, but you can also get tickets without the meal for $20.

Join us at the Sykesville Town Hall on Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 1 pm for a Book Bingo Fundraiser to benefit the library. Prizes will be book/genre themed baskets. A meal by by Shannon's catering, Chinese auction and 50/50. Tickets available in the library!

We are still looking for donations of baskets for the Chinese auction. If you donate at least $100, you will be the sponsor of a themed basket prize for bingo!

Only 175 tickets will be available. So stop in to the library to get one today!!! Once they are gone, no more will be added!

Careful out there, we found Moth Man checking out reference books on cars... You might want to stop by the Library to check out your own books on how to prevent them from stealing your catalytic converters.
