Summer Reading Program FAQs

Beanstack Summer Reading Program FAQ 

Q: Where do we go to register? 
A: You can download the app (available on iOS & Android) or register online here: https://sunprairiepubliclibrary.beanstack.org

Q: Does each kid need their own account?  
A: The easiest thing to do is to sign up as a parent and then sign up the kids with you as a family. Think of it like a car – the parent is the driver and the kids are passengers. The kids will each participate separately but it will all be one account.   

Q: When it asks for the child’s grade level, do you put the grade they just finished or the grade they’re going into?  
A: Please put the grade and school they are going into in Fall 2025.  

Q: If multiple reading Challenges apply to my child, how do I pick?
A: Great question!  Pick the one that best fits how your child and family!  If it's easier to keep track of individual titles (simply scan the ISBN barcodes with your phone), then titles might be better for you!  If logging blocks of time works best, then time is probably the way to go.

Q: I'm trying to log into Beanstack and it keeps kicking me out. 
A: Update your app, or delete and then reinstall. 

Q: I accidently signed my child up for Books, but meant to sing them up for Minutes (or vice versa). How can I fix this? 
A: To change this is easy, but YOU can not do it. Give us a call or stop by the desk and we can switch them for you. 

Q: How do I know if I have a Beanstack account or not? 
A: If you've participated in the Summer Reading Program anytime since 2020, you already have an account. If you're unsure, stop by, call, or email Youth Services or Information, and we can help you find your account, login, and reset your password. Please do not create a new account.
