Log reading and activities between

Monday, June 2 -

Wednesday, July 23 at 12 noon

This summer, challenge yourself to read every day!

How many minutes will you read each day? That’s up to you to decide! (If you’re not sure, try 20 minutes each day.)

Track your progress with Beanstack or our Bookworm Reading Tracker as you complete daily reading goals and/or activities.

How to participate

Bookworm is for all ages!

For each reader, you'll pick one Bookworm Challenge:

• Read to Me: Birth to starting Kindergarten
• Independent Readers: Grades K-6
• Teens: Grades 7-12
• Adults: Anyone age 18 and up

Logging

You can choose how to track your progress:  On Beanstack or with a paper copy of our Bookworm Reading Tracker.  Beanstack will track your progress and report it directly to the library; if you use the paper tracker, just show it to a library staff member to claim your prizes.

You will be able to log your reading and activities starting Monday, June 2, 2025, and all logging must be complete by 12 noon on Wednesday, July 23, 2025.

Using Beanstack

If you participated in Bookworm last year and have a Beanstack account, you can sign in using your username and password from before. If not, you can sign up for a new account.

You can create either an individual or family account on Beanstack. A family account lets you log things for your whole family without having to log into individual accounts.

Sign into your Beanstack account, and click the red button that says "Log Reading and Activities." You will not see this button until June 2, when Bookworm officially starts.

Choose whether you want to log minutes or activities, or start a reading timer. If you use the reading timer in Beanstack, those reading minutes are logged automatically.

Prizes

For all age groups, you can either log 40 days of reading or complete the Challenge with a mix of reading logs and activities. Just earn a total of 40 badges on Beanstack, or fill in 40 circles on the Bookworm Tracker, to complete the Challenge.

For the Grand Prize drawings, we will have different prizes and you can choose which prize drawings to enter in the Beanstack app.

Patrons using Beanstack must have a phone number on their Beanstack account in order to receive the Grand Prize.

You must visit the library to pick up your prizes. Prizes cannot be mailed. Trophies and Grand Prizes will be awarded at the Bookworm Finale Party. To qualify for prizes, readers must be Ohio residents.
