Log your book titles

The easiest way to log your reading is from the Beanstack app or on our Beanstack site. Log any books you read between June 1-July 31.  Remember to record number of book titles, not number of minutes

You can also download and print a tracking sheet. Track your reading on paper, then enter your progress in Beanstack later, or bring your sheet to the Research Desk where staff can enter your progress for you.

Adult Tracking Sheet

Don't forget to enter your Tickets

Each completed book you log earns you a ticket to enter in the prize drawing of your choice.
