How do you earn the points? Pretty simple:

• 1 minute reading = 1 point (audiobooks count too!)
• 1 book review = 5 points
• 1 activity = 10, 15, or 20 points depending on difficulty/age range
• 1 virtual library event attended = 20 points
• Complete the Library Safari Scavenger Hunt = 120 points

Reach 500 points to earn prizes:

• Free book from the prize cart (yours to keep!)
• Coupon book for local restaurants and attractions (kids & teens only)
• One Virtual Ticket for a chance to win a prize pack for your age group

Don’t stop there!

Earn more Virtual Tickets towards Prize Packs for every 500 additional points logged (up to 5,000 points which is the equivalent to 10 bonus tickets).

Then the entire process is online, but is similar to a raffle — you choose a Prize Pack and submit a Virtual Ticket, and we'll draw a winner for each Prize Pack at the end of the Summer Reading Challenge. Winners will be contacted during the week of August 9–13.

To get started, track your points, or learn more, head to Beanstack. Still have questions? Ask a librarian!
