October is Canadian Library Month and October 20 to 26 is Ontario Public Library Week. Join the celebration by taking part in our Library Month programs and events, checking out our reading lists and participating in our Bingo Challenge!

Canadian Library Month Bingo Challenge!

Join the fun this October at the Markham Public library! Pick up a Bingo sheet and complete activities throughout the month for a chance to win a $100 Amazon gift card! 📚✨

Here's how it works:

  1. Grab your Bingo card from your local branch.
  2. Complete actions like borrowing a book, attending a program, or exploring our online resources.
  3. Each time you finish a task, ask our friendly staff for a sticker.
  4. Once you've filled the entire sheet, drop it in the ballot box at your branch for a chance to win!

The challenge runs from October 1 to 31, 2024 – don’t miss out on the fun! Winner will be announced before November 30 and will be contacted via email.
