How do I register my kids for the Summer Reading Program?
Summer Reading officially starts Monday, June 9, and you can register via Beanstack, at lenawee.beanstack.org or through the free Beanstack app. We have a reading program for pre-k, kids, teens, and adults. If you have registered previously you do NOT need to create a new account. Just select our current SRP challenge.
From the Beanstack landing page click REGISTER INDIVIDUAL OR FAMILY and complete the form to create an account. Parents can create a family-style account by adding child readers when registering as well as after their account is active.The account creator is the person who will be logging information (typically the adult) throughout the summer. This person can also be a reader. You will be prompted to enter each reader into the appropriate challenge when creating their account.
If you prefer to participate in SRP only on paper, visit any of the Lenawee District Library branches to register. Please participate in only one method.
How does my child participate in Summer Reading Program once we are registered?
