Summer Reading 2025: Level Up
•
Level Up with Westmont Public Library this summer from May 27 through August 12, 2025. All ages are invited to participate.
How it works
Visit our Beanstack site or install the Beanstack Tracker app (Android app or iOS app) from May 27 through August 12.
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.
Record your reading in Beanstack or on a paper log, which you can pick up at the Library. 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, and virtual badges. Youth and teens will also be able to vote for their favorite video game at the Youth & Teen Desk.
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), puzzle and gaming themed items, pizza coupons, and tickets toward 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 ages 0 – 2 are available.
Adults can earn drawing entries for gift cards from local businesses, including Bacuri Bakery, Citrus Diner, Encore Car Wash, Fair Game, Good Juju Yoga, Happy Cat Grooming, King Car Wash, Neat Kitchen & Bar, and Rising Goddess Fitness.
Finish recording your reading in Beanstack or bring in your paper log by August 12 to be eligible. Prize drawings will take place on August 13.
