Summer Reading 2024
•
Read, Renew, Repeat with Westmont Public Library this summer from May 24 through August 9, 2024. All ages are invited to participate.
How it works
Visit our Beanstack site or install the Beanstack Tracker app.
You can log in with an existing Beanstack account, if you have one, or create a new account. To add other family members to your account, simply Add a Reader. See detailed instructions.
Record your reading in Beanstack or on a paper log. For Read to Me and Adult challenges, log each book you read. Grade School and Teen readers track by minutes.
As you hit reading milestones, you’ll earn prizes, tickets to apply towards prize drawings, chances to vote in our summer poll for your favorite sustainability mascot, and virtual badges.
Prizes
For participants in the Read to Me, Grade School, and Teen challenges, prizes include* a book of your choice (a list of available titles is available at the Library), wooden snakes, stickers, notebooks with rainbow pencils, and tickets toward additional prize drawings. Pick up your rewards as you go or all at once, while supplies last, through August 13. The participating child or teen must be present to claim prizes.
*Alternative prizes for babies are available.
Adults can earn seed bookmarks and drawing entries for gift cards from local businesses.
Finish recording your reading in Beanstack or bring in your paper log by August 9 to be eligible. Prize drawings will take place on August 10.
