Sign up online with Beanstack!

How it Works

1. Register

If you've used the BEANSTACK app before, login and sign up for the 2024 challenge. New to Beanstack? Download the free app from the app store on your mobile device or scan the handy QR code. You can also sign up in person at one of our branches. Either way, you get to play PLINKO just for registering!

2. Log your Reading

Log the books you read (or have read to you) in the Beanstack app. No smartphone or internet connection? No problem, use our paper log sheet instead! Count books read between June 1 & July 31, 2024. 

3. Earn Prizes

Read (or listen to) 10 books or a combination of books and activities to complete the program and earn a prize!
Prizes for completing the Summer Reading Challenge are:

• PLINKO

• Book of your choice

• Brag tag keychain/necklace

• Entry into grand prize drawings (multiple gift baskets, disc golf set, pickleball set & more). Drawings will be held after August 1, 2024.

Need an EXTRA challenge?

If you want to keep reading after your first 10, ask about our bead program! For every additional 5 books read, you will get a bead to add to a necklace, an extra turn at PLINKO and an entry into a special backyard fun pack prize drawing!

Frequently Asked Questions

I read really long books. What if I don’t have time to read 10 of them in two months?

That’s OK! You can read 2 books and do 8 activities. You just need a total of 10 badges to complete the Summer Reading Challenge. 

Do I have to read library books to count for a challenge?

While we prefer that you read books from our library, any reading will count…even audiobooks!

I used the Beanstack App last year- do I need to create a new account?

No, you will use the same account from previous years. The app may ask you to update your information, then you will be able to enroll in any available challenges!

It’s May 30th- can I log my reading in the Beanstack App? 

While you can track your reading anytime in the Beanstack App, it will only count towards a challenge after June 1st. 

I don’t have internet at home or a smartphone. Do I HAVE to use the Beanstack App? 

No, you can track your reading on a paper log sheet that can be picked up at any Rolling Hills Library branch. If you are tracking your reading on paper, please remember to bring the paper log sheet back into the library with you when you have completed the challenge! Staff will need to see it to give you your completion prize!
