The American Revolution Book Bingo

Winfield Public Library Posted on by

Celebrate America’s 250th anniversary with The American Revolution Book Bingo Challenge. Explore fiction and nonfiction books connected to the Revolutionary era, discover different perspectives on history, and complete bingo squares along the way.

Beginning September 1, pick up a bingo packet at the WPL front desk, choose books that match the prompts, and mark your progress as you read. Complete five squares in a row – across, down, or diagonal – to earn bingo and join the celebration of 250 years of American stories, ideas, and history. Finishers can return their card to earn a limited-edition celebratory shirt.

The American Revolution Book Bingo Challenge runs through November 30.

Optional: Join us for a watch party under the stars as we screen excerpts from THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION – a film by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein & David Schmidt – on Sunday, October 25 out on the library’s back patio.

Strategic Plan Update

Winfield Public Library Posted on by

We are delighted to share our updated strategic plan which guides our direction to provide innovative services and programs to engage our community.

During 2023, based on your feedback from our surveys and community input sessions, our team, and the library board charted our direction for the next five years.

Click here to view the Strategic Plan Summary.

We are excited about the many ways we will fulfill our mission:

  • to support everyone in their enjoyment of reading and the pursuit of lifelong learning
  • connect and enrich our community with welcoming spaces, relevant programs, and friendly, knowledgeable staff
  • to provide equitable access to information through books, programs, and resources

Our work toward achieving this mission has already begun with improved accessibility services, more technology help, and class offerings, a Teen & Adult Literacy program, and more opportunities to connect with each other and books.  We hope you stop in and see how you can “Branch Out” at your library soon.
