This year we have set a challenge of reading 1,000 minutes per participant as well as a community challenge of one million minutes. Every time you read you help meet those challenges and help us reach our goals!
You can use Beanstack to track reading, earn badges, and participate in extra fun. You can signup and participate online or with the Beanstack app from the Google Play store or Apple Store.
No matter how you participate, you’ll be eligible for prizes which include stickers, books, charms, prize chest items, build-your-own-plushies, and more. Each time you read 250 minutes you complete a level, and each level opens up a new prize option for kids and teens. Once you read 1,000 minutes you complete the reading challenge and are eligible for one of the grand prizes! This year there will be a grand prize winner at each library for ages 0-6, 7-9, 10-12, 13-17, and 18+. Winners get a prize basket filled with a unique blend of items.

Tuesdays at 1 pm in Glenwood Springs
Tuesdays at 4 pm in Carbondale
Wednesdays at 11 am in New Castle
