Digital Reading Log
Along with the paper logs you can grab at the Library, our Summer Reading Challenge has a virtual option for logging your reading. Beanstack is like a “Fitbit for Reading,” where users track reading and earn virtual badges (and prizes!) along the way. Access your Beanstack account online or through the mobile app and easily keep track of your challenges and reading goals from wherever you are. Readers can create individual accounts and better yet, families (or daycares/groups) can create one main account and then add all the readers in their group. Each reader then joins the Summer Reading Challenge that fits their age or grade level.

Kids & Teens
Many of our fun Summer Reading events and performers are back on the calendar, so be sure to check out all the awesome summer fun programming this summer.
The goal this year, as in year’s past, is to read at least 20 minutes per day. Every 25 days of reading earns a (real) prize. Books, eBooks, audiobooks, magazines… it all counts! Plus, if you read for 75 days, you will automatically be entered into a grand prize drawing.
Prizes
Prizes for kids (age 0 – rising grade 6) include books, backpacks, coupons, and other fun items. Teen (rising grades 7-12) prizes include pencils, books, bags, coupons, and more. For both age groups, everyone who completes all 75 days of reading will be entered into a grand prize drawing for one of several $50 gift cards.
Adults
For our readers aged 18+, there’s never a better time to mark off your to-read list than in the summer when the days are long, the temps are high, and you’re able to win prizes at the Library for consistent reading.
