Quincy Public Library is excited to offer ongoing reading challenges with Beanstack! The more you read, the more chances you have to win prizes from the library! These challenges are offered year-round, for all ages. Patrons can visit quincylibrary.beanstack.com or download the Beanstack Tracker App and search for Quincy Public Library to get started today!
Readers of all ages can register in seconds as individuals or a family. Beanstack makes it easy for them to earn virtual badges, tickets for drawings, and real-world prizes by keeping track of their reading. Readers can also post book reviews and keep track of activities they complete along the way. The Beanstack Tracker App is like a fitbit for reading. It lets patrons time reading sessions, log books by scanning their ISBN numbers, keep a log of current and past reading, track daily reading stats, and achieve streaks for reading multiple days in a row.
Reading has been proven to reduce stress and improve memory, concentration, and focus. Children who read do better in school and get higher test scores in all subjects. QPL encourages reading for the whole family because we know kids emulate what their parents are doing.
