Wright Library offers registration and logging through the Beanstack mobile app or Beanstack web app. Learn more below about how to register and log your reading. Paper tracking sheets will also be available.
This year, two prize drawings will be held - Wednesday July 1 and Monday August 3! Tickets for the August drawing can be submitted throughout the summer.. Make sure to claim all prizes by 9 PM on Friday, August 14.
*Prizes for participation & prize wheel spins are offered while supplies last. No prizes will be mailed, but Oakwood residents may be eligible for our "Wright to Your Home" delivery service.
How to Register
Join anytime before July 31. There are 3 ways to register.
Option 1: Beanstack mobile app
- Install the Beanstack app on a mobile device.
- Log in or create your Wright Library Beanstack account.
- Once logged in, join Wright Library's Adult Summer Challenge.
Option 2: Beanstack web app
- Visit Wright Library's Beanstack site.
- Log in or create your Wright Library Beanstack account.
- Once logged in, join Wright Library's Adult Summer Challenge.
With Options 1 and 2:
- No library card number is needed. Beanstack is not linked to your Wright Library patron account.
- Parents with children participating in our Youth Summer Reading Challenge can add children as additional readers under the same account. Track the whole family's reading in one place.
- Log in with an existing account if you've used Beanstack in a previous Wright Library challenge. No need to create a new one each year.
- If you registered for Beanstack through another library, you'll need a separate account for Wright Library's Beanstack site. You can toggle between libraries in the mobile app.
Option 3: Participate without Beanstack
Visit the Research Desk (Main Level) to register in person and pick up a paper tracking sheet.
Log your book titles
The easiest way to log your reading is from the Beanstack app or on our Beanstack site. Log any books you read from June 1 through July 31. Remember to record number of book titles, not number of minutes
You can also pick up a tracking sheet at the Research Desk (Main Level). Track your reading on paper, then enter your progress in Beanstack later, or bring your sheet to the Research Desk where staff can enter your progress for you.
Don't forget to enter your Tickets
Each completed book you log earns you a ticket to enter in the prize drawing of your choice.
