THIS CHALLENGE RUNS FROM MONDAY, JUNE 17 - FRIDAY, JULY 26.

 

ELIGIBLITY

​

All teens entering grades 6-12 are invited to participate. 

 

You don't need a library card to get started on Beanstack, but you might need to use a valid North Haven library card to complete some of the challenge activities from home. If you don't have one, bring a parent or guardian and stop by the Circulation Desk. If you don't live in North Haven, come by the library and complete those activities here!

​

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

​

• Teens entering grades 6-12 can register through the North Haven Memorial Library's interactive reading platform called Beanstack*! Download the Beanstack Tracker app through your favorite app store, or participate online by visiting northhavenlibrary.beanstack.org.

• Once you create an account, find the "Teen Summer Reading 2024" and click "Join Challenge."

• After that, you're ready to go! If you have questions, any staff member at the library would be happy to help you.

 

*Teens who would prefer to participate on paper are welcome to pick up a paper bingo card at the Information Desk.

​

3. Don't stop there. Your goal is to complete every activity on the bingo card to unlock the FULL CARD badge. If you unlock this badge, you'll earn five extra raffle tickets.

FAQ :)

 

Do I have to read for a certain amount of time?

Not this year! Our goal this year is to get you reading/watching/listening/checking out all the awesome items the library has to offer. 
 

Do I have to read every day?

You do not have to read every day. Although, we think it is a great idea if you do!

Do I have to read books?

Yes! Unless the BINGO sheet says otherwise. We hope that you will familiarize yourself with our library's collections.

How often should I come to the library for Summer Reading?

Come to the library every time Beanstack says you've earned a reward. Visit the Information Desk to cash in on your tickets and prizes.

​

Can I participate in the Teen Summer Scavenger Hunt without participating in this challenge?

Absolutely! Visit the Information Desk for a scavenger hunt sheet.
