What Clients Are Saying

“We love using Beanstack because of the fact that there’s an app that can be used by teens and other patrons, the online version and the app, to track their own progress.”
Christa Funke Pikes Peak Library District, Colorado
“I love that the patrons are in control of their summer reading experience. The time that Beanstack has freed-up for the staff allows us to concentrate on serving the patrons, instead of managing summer reading. On the staff side, we no longer dread the start of summer. Instead, we can enjoy seeing all the kids in the library and feel excited about all the books being read.”
Head of Circulation Knox County Public Library, Indiana
“We have tried several different online reading programs. Beanstack is the easiest to use, both for staff and for the patrons.”
Coolidge Library, Arizona
