Join Our Summer Reading Challenge:
Friday, May 28-Friday, August 6
This summer, we're heading to Tokyo for the Olympics! To celebrate our love of sports, travel, and Japanese culture, we'll participate in different challenges and activities, track our reading, and earn badges online using Beanstack: a FREE and user-friendly mobile app. Don't worry: you can also use Beanstack on your desktop. You can register as an individual, family, or organization/class/school!
Let's Go for the Gold!
The more reading challenges and activities you complete, the more badges you earn! The more badges you earn, the more chances you have to win prizes.
-
INDIVIDUALS (All Ages): For every 5 Badges you earn, your name will be entered to win from our prize drawings, held weekly! For our adult readers, we'll also have hidden prizes along the way. So, Beanstack will inform you when you've completed one of our mystery Golden-Ticket activities to receive a special prize!
-
FAMILIES: The FAMILY that reads the most and completes the most activities will win a 1-YEAR FAMILY PASS to the Discovery Center & Museum of Rockford.
-
TWEEN/TEEN INDIVIDUALS (Ages 12-17): Any TWEEN/TEEN INDIVIDUAL who reads 5 books will be entered to win a Kawaii & Manga Themed Gift Basket.
-
