How it Works

1. Register

Pre-registration opens on May 24 at 9:00 a.m. Registration is easy. First, register yourself, and then add any additional family members (children and adults) as readers. This makes it easy to keep track of all of your family’s reading time on one account. Groups & daycares should choose the "register a group" option.

2. Read!

We believe reading activities of any kind should be celebrated. That means attending storytime, reading magazines, comics, books, audiobooks-- it all counts! The important thing is to have fun while doing it. 

3. Track & Log

Keep track of how many minutes you spend reading between June 1 and August 7, and log them in our online or app trackers. If you need help getting started, we’ve created some short videos to guide you through each of these systems. 

4. Earn Badges & Rewards

As you log your reading time, you’ll earn virtual badges to display on your reading page! Once you reach certain milestones, you’ll be alerted that you’ve won a prize bundle-- hooray! Along with this notice, you’ll receive instructions on when to pick up your rewards. 

5. Participate in Activities 

A new feature for this year's Mayor's Summer Reading Club is activity tracking. Completing various activities in our Beanstack app will enter you into one of our grand prize drawings!
