About the Adult Summer Reading Program:
*Preregistration begins June 2. On June 9 you can begin logging your reading time and start completing activities!
Track your reading and other activities via Beanstack.
How the Adult Summer Reading Program works:
1. Read! Do activities to earn badges!
2. Log your reading time and record your completed activities to earn tickets! Enter your tickets into the drawing by August 30.
5. Complete the Summer Reading Program by logging 30 hours of reading over the summer AND earning the Big Summer Read: The Book activity badge. ("Completing" the program is not necessary to win prizes... but it does increase your chances of winning!)
You can also earn small prizes for every 30 hours of reading you complete (up to 120 hours)! When you earn a 30-hour increment badge, stop by the Welcome Desk to collect a prize!
Note: If you have previously created a Beanstack account for a Sun Prairie Library reading program, you do not need to create a new account. Simply look for the Adult Summer Reading Program option when logged into your account, and click "Enroll."
If you would prefer a paper log, stop by the Welcome Desk starting June 2 to pick one up.
