Beginning July 1, pick up a PINGO card to play throughout Plastic Free July. How plastic-free can you be?

Pick up your PINGO card at the Barrett Branch Library. The PINGO card contains activities to help you move towards eliminating single-use plastic from your life.

Mark your activities performed in July on the card. Fill up a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row and bring your card back to Barrett's Information Desk for a chance to spin the PINGO cage and claim your prize. Fill up the whole card to get two spins. Return cards to the Barrett Branch, 717 Queen St., by July 31, 2025. 

For questions or to find out how you can pick up your card, contact Megan at mzimmerman@alexlibraryva.org.
