How to Register & Track Your Activities:

We are using an app called Beanstack.

There are three ways to participate - pick which one is most convenient for you!

On the Beanstack Tracker app

Search for “Beanstack” in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and follow the instructions to create an account and track your progress.

On the web

In your browser, visit myjcpl.org/beanstack and follow the instructions to register. You can log back in to track your progress.

Need help? Our staff can help get you registered and track progress online or in the app.

In person

Library staff can register you and track your reading for you. Stop in at your library for more information.

How to Earn Prizes:

Adults earn prizes by reading books, ebooks, audiobooks and magazines. Each title is worth one entry towards weekly drawings and the grand prize drawing. Get extra entries by reading specific formats (audiobook, magazine) and genres (mystery, non fiction).

Log your progress in Beanstack or visit or call your local branch to report your progress!  Weekly drawings will be held and a grand prize drawing will be held at the end. 

Prize winners will be contacted.

Important Dates:

You can track your activities and enter drawings between May 30 and July 31. Grand prize winners will be selected July 31. Drawing winners will have additional time to redeem their prizes.
