What ages can participate in Summer Reading Program?

All ages are welcome to participate!

Do I need to be a member of your library / have a library card with you to participate in your SRP?

No. Anyone can participate, whether they are a member of our library or not.

How do we participate online? 

Online participation is easy!

• Download the Beanstack app to your phone or smart device, or visit The Beanstack Website.
• Those who have made an account for any of our previous reading challenges do NOT need to sign up again. Simply select the challenge in which you wish to enroll.
• If you have not previously participated digitally, create an account under “register as individual or family.” The account creator is the person who will be logging information (typically the adult) throughout the summer. This person can also be a reader. Multiple readers can be registered under one account. There will be an option to add other readers when creating an account, as well as after an account is active.
