What is Beanstack?
Beanstack is a digital platform where participants log their reading and find activity challenges designed by library staff. There are activities for all ages, babies to adults. Registration is quick and simple, and caregivers can register all their children in one place. Beanstack allows you to log your reading and activities, at home and on the go using the Beanstack Tracker app (find the app in your mobile device's app store and download to use).
Register yourself or family here.
As patrons log their reading and activities, they will earn digital badges. Beanstack will automatically keep track of how many badges are earned and rewards can be picked up at the library.
