How It Works
When local public libraries and schools connect their Beanstack sites, readers can:
“A lot of our summer success comes because we partner with our local public libraries … Our students and staff are able to link their public library and school library Beanstack accounts, so that if they log on to one, they get recognition on the other.”

Promote Independent Reading Year-Round

Deepen Community Collaboration
Use a holistic approach to reading that fosters a partnership with your local school or public library counterpart. Our process helps library and educational systems work together to promote reading challenges that create a widespread reading culture in your community.
