Summer Reading Program – May 27 through August 1

The game is set, and it’s time to Level Up at Your Library during the 2025 Summer Reading Program! Record your reading minutes and complete activities using Beanstack to earn fun rewards and badges, including free ice cream from Cattle & Cream, a free book when you complete your reading goal, and more! Record minutes and activities every week to be entered into a weekly prize drawing! If you complete your reading goal by Friday, August 1 at 5:00pm, you will be entered into our Grand Prize Drawing.

Register for the reading program online through our Beanstack Site, or by using the Beanstack app, beginning Tuesday, May 27. The Beanstack app can be downloaded onto a phone or tablet and makes recording your reading minutes and activities easy. The app includes a reading timer, ISBN scanner for title entry, and the capability to record minutes for multiple readers simultaneously. The last day to register for the reading challenge will be Saturday, July 5.

If you participated in last year’s program, you will use the same Beanstack username and password. Can’t remember your password or have other questions? Call the library at 815-332-5161 and library staff will be happy to assist you!
