Summer Reading Challenge & Bingo Card
Bianca Blanco • May 22, 2026

Dive into these two Summer Reading activities curated by your favorite indie bookstore, Lioness Books! Both the Kids Summer Reading Challenge and the Summer Reading Bingo Card—for teens and adults—will run from June 3rd to August 3rd.

Kids Summer Reading Challenge


This summer, Lioness Books has created the Kids Summer Reading Challenge to encourage kids to sit back, relax, and read for the sole purpose of enjoyment. The Kids Summer Reading Challenge promotes the pleasure of reading by challenging kids to read 10 books by the end of summer. These are books that they get to choose, so it could be a book, a comic book, a graphic novel, an audiobook—whatever they like! Readers will also be able to collect three activity stickers that promote curiosity, community, and learning by attending events held at the bookstore. Please bring your completed Summer Reading Challenge Card to the store to collect your prize! Happy reading!
