NEWS RELEASE
LONGMONT PUBLIC LIBRARY
*************************
After a lengthy COVID-19-related hiatus, the Longmont Library’s popular bilingual family program “¡Lotería Mexicana!” returns via Webex, just in time for Day of the Dead celebrations.
Families are invited to play a few rounds of traditional Mexican Bingo using game boards provided by the Library during two Saturday sessions, on Saturday and Nov.21, from 4 to 5 p.m. For the Saturday game, participants will be provided with special Day of the Dead game boards.
During the bingo game, players can use beans, coins, small rocks, etc. as “chips” to mark the images as they are called out. Each player will need 16 chips to fill the entire game board during rounds of “Blackout” or “tabla entera.”
Those who would like to practice their Spanish will have the opportunity to be one of the card “callers” or “cantores.” Names will be drawn at the end to receive special prizes.
Registration is required and available online. Once registered, participants will receive emails in English and Spanish with instructions to pick up their game boards and to log in to the Webex programs.
Don’t miss these fun family programs, and be sure to look for the accompanying book displays in the Children’s and Teens’ section of the Library.
