Beanstack has added a “Friends” tab to the Beanstack page.

If you don’t want anyone to see these things, you don’t share your “Friend Code”. Friends can see a leaderboard where all your friends are listed and can compete against each other.

Once you are signed up for Beanstack you are able to complete reading goals to be entered into a Grand Prize drawing at your library. Depending on your age group you will have different challenges and a different prize drawing, as listed below:

The 2019 Summer Library Program is at full launch at the Sebastopol Public Library!

5...4...3...2...1 The 2019 Summer Library Program has blasted off!

Summer library programs started in the 1890s in order to encourage students to read even during the summer when students tend to lose a great percentage of the things they learned that school year.

On our journey to keep up with our changing world of technology, we are using Beanstack this year for our readers of all ages to keep track of the books they read throughout this summer either on the Beanstack website or through the Beanstack Tracker App found on the Apple or Play store. Click HERE for help with Beanstack. If you need any assistance with signing up for Beanstack just call or walk into your local library.
Once you are signed up for Beanstack you are able to complete reading goals to be entered into a Grand Prize drawing at your library. Depending on your age group you will have different challenges and a different prize drawing, as listed below:

Preschool - 5 books - a Prize Basket

Kids (K - 4th grade) - 5 books- a Prize Basket

Teen (5th - 8th grade) - 5 books- a $25 gift card

Young Adult ( 9th - 12th grade) - 3 books - a $25 gift card

Adult - 3 books - a $25 gift card

After you complete this challenge, for every book logged, book review, and/or attendance at a library program after this is one more entry into the drawing.
