How to Track Your Summer Reading Hours!
Your child or teen can track their hours read and participate in fun challenges on Beanstack this summer while they earn prizes for every five hours they read! Adults can also participate in challenges and use Beanstack to keep track of their Summer Reading books!
Every five hours a child or teen reads, and every book an adult reads and records in Beanstack, earns a chance to enter the weekly drawing. Please note that to enter the drawing, or for your child to claim their reading prizes, you must come to the library.
