Summer Reading Program 6/1 - 8/10
Everyone is welcome to join the Summer Reading Challenge for good books, fun activities, and prizes! If you’ve used Beanstack previously with Wicomico Public Library, you’re all set. Log in to your account and you’ll see challenges listed by reader age range.
If you like using a paper version, we have gameboards with fun stickers to track your reading at all Wicomico Public Library locations starting June 1st.
Finish the challenge by August 10th to be in the running for prizes. We'll announce the winners on August 12th. Join us for a summer full of reading and fun!
Getting Started
Online or offline, it’s easy to participate in the summer reading challenge! Use Beanstack online or download the app from Google Play or the App Store. Follow the prompts to create a user account, then add readers to the account to include the whole family. Available challenges appear by the age of each reader. Have a question? Staff are available to help you get started.
Paper options are fun, too! Stop by a branch location to collect one of the gameboards, or find us at a community event this summer. Additional copies of the game boards are available below. Paper game boards can be used independently or online with Beanstack.
Prizes
To be in the running for prizes, complete the challenge by August 10th. We'll announce the winners on August 12th.
Join us for a summer full of reading and fun!
