1. Register

The Mayor's Summer Reading Club (MSRC) begins on May 30, but you can sign up early, starting May 15 at 10:00 a.m. Registration is quick and easy! If you've participated in MSRC in the past, you will log in to your account and register for this year's MSRC challenge for yourself and any readers in your family. If you're new to MSRC, you will need to create a Beanstack account through the app or your web browser for yourself and add any additional family members as readers. This makes it easy to keep track of all of your family's reading time on one account. Daycares who need assistance signing up can give us a call at 817-427-6818.

2. Read!

We believe reading activities of any kind should be celebrated. That means magazines, books, comics, audiobooks, and attending story time -- 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 May 30 and August 5, and log them in the Beanstack app or online tracker. If you need help getting started, watch one of our how-to videos to guide you through each of these systems. 

4. Participate in Activities 

Completing different themed activities in Beanstack will award you tickets for our grand prize drawing. For example, attending events, using The Maker Spot, and exploring different reading topics are all activities you can complete in Beanstack.

5. Earn Badges & Rewards

You'll earn virtual badges as you progress through the Mayor's Summer Reading Club. Badges are like digital stickers for your Beanstack account that you get when reaching certain reading milestones and completing activities. Some badges even award you prizes and virtual tickets for the grand prize drawings, which you can learn more about below.
