The Winter Reading Challenge is right around the corner! No, literally, it starts on Monday!
This year, at the Dauphin County Library, we’ll be doing an Olympics-themed challenge! In this point-based challenge, participants will log reading and reviews to earn “medals” (Beanstack badges) and a prize at the end!
Registration
All registrations will be through Beanstack, which carries us through this year’s Winter Reading Challenge. To register, all you have to do is go to dcls.org/wrc to find the Beanstack link. You can also register on the Beanstack Tracker app. Don’t have the app but would like it? Search for Beanstack Tracker in the App Store or Google Play Store to download. You can also use the Beanstack link on any desktop computer!
How to Participate
To earn points for this year’s challenge, you can log your minutes or books, as well as reviews, in the Beanstack app. 1 book = 5 points, 10 minutes of reading = 1 point, and 1 review = 5 points. Log your reading online using the username and password you chose. You’ve completed the challenge once you hit 100 points! 20 books or 10 books + 10 reviews = 100 points! Beanstack will notify you when you have prizes or have completed the challenge.
Remember – ALL READING COUNTS!
Prizes
Members can pick up their prize starting on February 1. Adults (and teens, if they prefer) will get the annual mug with hot cocoa or tea! Pre K and Kids (and teens if they want it) will be getting bubbles featuring our Winter Reading Challenge art!
Please note that there is no registration prize for the Winter Reading Challenge this year.
