Summer Reading is almost done, but there is still time to log your reading and complete your Summer Reading! Log onto balibrary.org/summer, sign in (or even sign up), and you can log all of the reading you have done this summer already.
You do not need to put in specific dates or even titles. If you have read at least 20 minutes every day since May 28, you have read 1,400 minutes! That is amazing and we feel like that should be celebrated!
Once you complete your 500 minutes, you get a free book, a button, and a free ice cream cone coupon to be used at any Bear Family Restaurants McDonald's location.
We also have tons of activities for Pre-Readers and Readers that you can do as well on Beanstack to earn even more buttons. Here are some pictures that fellow Readers have drawn to earn the Book of the Summer badge!
FAQ’s
Do I need a library card to join?
No you do not! Anyone can do the program!
My child is only 5 months and can’t read, can they join?
Yes! The program is for everyone, even babies and toddlers. All books that are read to the baby count!
I am already using Beanstack for another library, do I use the same account?
You will need to create another account for Barrington, but with the app, you can easily toggle between the different libraries. You need to log the books for each site separately.
Do I have to log every title?
No. You can bulk log all of your reading starting from May 28. You can log up to 600 minutes at once.
Happy Reading everyone!
