Winter Reading Challenge 2022-2023
If you are new to the reading challenges –
The beanstack homepage will show you the available reading programs at the library. You may choose from the Children’s program, the Teen program, or the Adult program.
The Account Creator is the person whose log in information will be used to access all accounts registered. Multiple readers can be added to the same account, even if they are registered for different programs.
*Example* A parent may sign up for the Adult program as the Account Creator and add children as Readers, or vice versa. Both the Account Creator and Reader will use the same sign-in information.
Following the prompts, register both the Account Creator and Readers, if any. A green band at the bottom of the screen will alert you that you are successfully registered.
Now you’re ready start exploring beanstack!
Logging Books/Minutes:
At the top of each Reader’s account, there is a green “Add to the Log” button.
- Click on the button when you are ready to log reading or activities. A window will open to allow you to log.
- If an account has more than one Reader, the first question will ask which account you wish to log under. Choose the appropriate Reader’s account. Then choose whether you are logging reading or an activity.
- Write the title and author of the book and decide if you want to write a review.
- Click the green “Log” button and watch for the green band at the bottom of the screen for successful logging. If you are unsure whether it logged successfully, close the window and click on “The Log” button at the top of the screen, under your name.
You will be notified by email when you earn a prize, what the prize is, and how to redeem that prize.
If you have any questions, please contact the library and we will be happy to assist you!
