Celebrate A Day of Listening by Playing Family & Friends BINGO!
Did you know the day after Thanksgiving has traditionally been known as a Day of Listening? This is an opportunity to listen to older members of your family tell stories about and share memories of their childhoods and lives growing up.
Knowing that many families won’t be gathering in person this year, we have created some conversation starters that can make your Zoom or Facetime call more enjoyable! We will use completed Bingo cards as entries for a random prize drawings!
Get started!

Together, we make a difference by providing books that children can call their own.
