Earn points & win prizes
Reaching 500 points earns participants of all ages a free book and one ticket toward a prize pack. Babies, kids and teens also receive a Reading Rewards coupon book featuring local treats and family activities.
Click below to learn how to earn and use those points to improve your chances to win fantastic library loot on Beanstack. There are prizes for all ages, from infants to adults.

Get your game board
It’s easy to keep track of all your reading and activities online with Beanstack, but if you'd rather track on paper as you go — or you want something to stick on the fridge — print out a game board or a traditional reading log.
Clues are just a hop, skip and a jump to each community branch
There are four full-service community branches in Christian County! Visit all library locations in Clever, Nixa, Ozark and Sparta to complete a special scavenger hunt and earn points toward prize packs.
Choose events to attend
There is more to explore all summer long with in-person events. There is something happening every week and for all ages. Attending events earns bonus points, which means a better chance of winning a prize pack!

Project Birthday Bag Drive
We are collecting donations all summer long to help those in need. This year we are partnering with Project Birthday Bag, a non-profit that provides birthday materials to underprivileged children and their parents. Each donation earns points and puts a smile on a child's face. Stop by or call a library branch for more information.
