Get groovy with us all summer long!
Babies, kids, teens and adults can read and complete fun activities to earn prizes and a free book. Our online program, Beanstack, makes it easy to keep track of your reading and activities.

REGISTER June 12 - August 4
Register online with the button below (coming soon!) or stop at the library.

You can also download the Beanstack App for iOS or Android. Create a Beanstack account, then register for the Summer Library Challenge. You'll receive a welcome email from HPL at hello@beanstack.org with a link to the online program.

If you created a Beanstack account last summer, you will use the same username and password. Need help? Visit the library's website or ask staff for assistance.

Once you have created your Beanstack account, registered for the Summer Library Challenge and logged in, you can begin!

FLOWER POWER
Peace, love, & reading! Grab a circle for each badge you have completed. Use your creativity to draw your favorite flower on each circle.

Return your completed sheet(s) to the box at the Summer Desk. Check back regularly to see the progress we’re all making together.
