June 13 – August 13, 2021
Pre-registration begins on June 1. Sign up on Beanstack or in person at the Children’s Desk.
Reading Challenge
Kids ages 0 – 12, we’re challenging you to read at least 800 minutes during our Summer Library Program. Record your reading time, complete activities, and write reviews to earn digital badges, prizes, and tickets for prize drawings.
All reading counts towards our program! You can read books, audiobooks, comics, articles, and more. Not yet an independent reader? Any time spent reading with someone else or having someone read to you also counts!
We’ll be using Beanstack to run our Summer Library Program. Beanstack is an online platform that allows you to record your minutes read, activities completed, and reviews written.
Visit MenomoneeFallsLibrary.Beanstack.org or download the Beanstack Tracker app to your mobile device to get started! Check out our Beanstack User Guide (PDF) so you can be ready to go when early registration starts June 1.
Pick up or download a copy of our Reading Log (PDF) to keep track of your reading and activities between your Beanstack account updates.
