What is Summer Reading?
The Weston Public Library Summer Reading Program exists to provide a fun way for our community to connect with the library and each other by logging reading, attending events, and participating in challenges over the summer!
Who can participate in Summer Reading?
Our Summer Reading Program is for all ages, so absolutely anyone can participate! However, challenges are split up by age groups and certain events throughout the summer may be limited to more specific ranges in age.
How can I participate in Summer Reading?
You can begin your participation in the Summer Reading Challenge by registering in one of two ways:
- You can download the Beanstack app, or visit the Beanstack website to register for online logging and participation.
- You can pick up a paper form at library checkout beginning June 21st.
What do I need to do next?!
After registering we ask that you simply log the minutes that you’re already spending reading and participate in further challenges of your choice!
The benefits of logging and participating in our program include receiving a Weston Public Library adventurer’s pocket flashlight and prizes throughout the summer. You will also earn raffle tickets towards weekly drawings and end of the summer grand prizes.
Tell me more!
Readers will earn prizes for every 120 minutes logged reading. That is less than twenty minutes a day of reading to earn something new every week! Challenges earn raffle tickets upon completion. Challenges vary from things like “take a hike” to telling us about a series of books that you’ve completed.
Where can I pick up my stuff?
Raffle tickets and prize pick up happen physically at the library check out desk, so don’t forget to stop by to fill out your tickets and choose which prizes you would like them to be entered towards.
What kind of “swag” are we talking?
Prizes includes keychains, enamel pins, buttons, stickers and more! We hope to have something for everyone.
Stop by the library on June 21st for out kickoff event to check out our selection of grand prizes!
Kickoff
