Go Wild with Reading!
Things to do this summer:
- Enjoy the sun
- Eat ice cream
- Log the minutes you read to unlock and hatch eggs!
Every hour of reading unlocks an egg or a unique creature. There are five eggs to hatch, each with its own animal and a "Fast Fact" to learn more about the creature and its fantasy world.
Prizes:
- Earn a button/pin when you register.
- Pick up a new pin each time you unlock a new animal.
- Log your reading to enter weekly prize drawings.
- Read at least 10 hours and be entered to win our Grand Prize: an iTunes gift card!

Prize FAQs
How do I earn a pin/button?
When you register, you get a "Hatchery Technician" pin at the library. Then, every time you unlock a digital creature, you can visit the library again to pick up its corresponding pin. The pins will be 2.25" and strong enough to go on a backpack. If you read 10 hours by the end of the summer, you'll have a total of 6 pins!
How can I enter the weekly Prize Drawing?
Each week that you log at least one hour of reading on Beanstack automatically enters you for that week's prize drawing; participants can win only one weekly prize. Drawings are done every Monday starting July 5th.
How can I enter the Grand Prize Drawing for the iTunes gift card ($25)?
Every hour you read, up to 10 hours, counts as an entry for the Grand Prize. All teens will be eligible for the Grand Prize even if you have won a weekly prize.
