Summer Reading Challenge

June 1 - August 2, 2025

Join us for reading challenges for kids of all ages this summer!

We have a challenge for adults, too! Check out our 2025 Adult Summer Reading Challenge!

Children's Summer Reading Challenge

Children’s Challenge

We’re challenging kids (birth – 11 years) to read at least 800 minutes and log your reading time on Beanstack. Record your reading time, complete weekly Reading Bingo sheets, and write book reviews in order to earn prizes and tickets for our grand prize drawings!

You can keep track of your reading time and Reading Bingo with either paper logs or by using North Shore Library’s Beanstack site.

Teen Summer Reading Challenge

Teen Challenge

We’re challenging teens (12 - 18 years) to read at least 1,200 minutes and log your reading time on Beanstack. Record your reading time, complete weekly Reading Bingo sheets, and write book reviews in order to earn prizes and tickets for our grand prize drawings!

You can keep track of your reading time and Reading Bingo with either paper logs or by using North Shore Library’s Beanstack site.

Getting Started

Visit NorthShoreLibrary.Beanstack.org or download the Beanstack Tracker app (App Store | Google Play Store) to your mobile device to get started! Not sure how to use Beanstack? Read about How to Participate in the 2025 Summer Reading Challenge!

Do you prefer keeping track on paper? Copies of our reading logs and Reading Bingo sheets will be available in the Children’s Room, or you can download them here:

All reading time and activities will need to be logged on Beanstack in order to enter our prize drawings. Read about How to Assign Tickets to Prize Drawings.
