Track Your Reading in One of Our Reading Challenges!

There are many Reading Challenges for you to participate in, from our annual Summer Reading Program to virtual book clubs and 1000 Books Before Kindergarten.  Beanstack is the name of our reading challenge platform. There is a mobile app you can use, and you can sign up in the app, at the web site, or in person at any of our locations.  If you prefer a "low tech" option, paper logs for most challenges are available at any of our library branches. Features of the app include parents keeping track of multiple kids all in one place, adding books in bulk or by scanning the book UPC barcode, and earning "badges" for reading and completing other activities, sometimes for tickets to win prizes or sometimes just to track your reading.
