January means it’s time for Beanstack’s Annual Winter Reading Challenge! This year, the theme is “All The Feels,” encouraging readers of all ages to experience how reading stirs our emotions. Sign up and log all your reading on our Beanstack webpage (https://guilderlandlibrary.beanstack.com/reader365) or with the Beanstack App between January 1-31.
Our goal is to read 90,000 minutes (1,500 hours) by the end of January. Remember, anything you read counts (including newspapers, magazines, graphic novels, comic books, picture books, and audio books), so make sure to log it all! If we’re one of the top-reading libraries in the country, we’ll win a prize for all to enjoy. Happy Reading!
