You can register as a family. The benefit of this is that there is one user name and one password for logging minutes read and activities completed for every member of your family rather than remembering unique user names and passwords for each. Even when using a single user name and password, each family member will have their own unique page for the program they are registered for.

If you prefer, you may still set up completely unique accounts for each.

To get started, got to at lpl.beanstack.org, click the link to create an account as an individual or family and follow the steps. As you add children and their age, the system will automatically enroll them in the appropriate program.

For the children’s and teen challenges, participants earn a chance to win a weekly draw prize for every reading and activity badge they earn that week. Prizes are gift cards. Winners will be contacted each week by email or telephone when their prize is available for pickup at their local branch and first names of winners will be posted on our social media channels. Every Child who earns a completion badge by reading a minimum of 16 hours by August 22 has a chance to win one of the Grand Prizes. Children who log 100 hours of reading for the summer by August 22 has a chance to win one of the Super Reader Prizes.

For the adult challenge, participants earn a chance to win a grand prize for every reading and activity badge they earn through the summer. There will also be a Super Reader prize awarded for the individual who has logged the most minutes of reading. These draws are at the end of the summer. Prizes are gift cards. Winners will be contacted by email or telephone when their prize is available for pickup at their local branch and first names of winners posted on our social media channels.
