When: June 10-August 12

Download the Beanstack app or visit: newburyportpl.beanstack.org to create an account. If you
used Beanstack last year, you should still have an account. If you want to log reading for multiple
kids at the same time, we recommend using the app instead of a web browser.
• Mark off each day you spend time reading, listening or being read to, this summer.
• Every time you log ten days (consecutive or non-consecutive!), you get to pick a prize from
the Library’s prize bucket.
• As you log days, you’ll also earn virtual raffle tickets. Use these raffle tickets to enter for a
grand prize bag! We’ll pull winners at the end of the summer.
Grand prize bag themes include: Dog Man, Dinosaurs, Bluey, Trucks, Arts & Crafts, Science,
Books, Minecraft, and Cute Animals!
TWEENS & TEENS (Ages 12-18)
Download the Beanstack app or visit: newburyportpl.beanstack.org to create an account. If you
used Beanstack last year, you should still have an account. If you need help logging in, please
give the library a call: 978-465-4428.
This summer, dive into a great book! Log the minutes you read to earn badges and tickets.
What can you read? Anything! Just track the time you spend reading (or listening). Tracking your
reading time or achieving activity badges earns you tickets, which you can then use to win prizes.
And yes, you can use your summer reading book for school to earn tickets.
We will have two drawings this summer, one on July 15 and one on August 12. Some of the prizes
will change between the two drawings, but you’ll be able to enter for the grand prizes all summer
long. Grand prizes will be drawn on August 12.
This year’s prizes include: a polaroid camera, a Bluetooth speaker, themed mystery bags, books,
and more!
ADULTS (Ages 18+)
Come play BINGO with us and track your reading progress for a chance to win a $30 gift card to
Jabberwocky! Use the online form (linked above) to view the BINGO card and submit what you’ve
read. Each submission will enter you into the raffle (even if you don’t hit BINGO), but you can only
submit one book per category.
You can enter your submissions at any point during the Summer Reading challenge. Three lucky
winners will each win a $30 gift certificate to Jabberwocky and all winners will be drawn after the
conclusion of the program. Participants can win only once.
If you have any questions or would like a physical copy of the BINGO card, please speak with a
reference librarian on the second floor.
