Join thousands of Nashvillians as we read (or listen!) for the Summer Reading Challenge. Register on Beanstack for free and log your reading.
We're using a program called Beanstack to track reading. Join us on the Beanstack app, or print a paper log if you'd rather track reading offline.
Participants may sign up as a group if they are part of a daycare, summer camp, senior center, or other organization. Families may not participate as groups. They must register each member individually.
Participants who complete the program as a group are also allowed (and encouraged!) to complete the program individually to redeem individual-program prizes.
To sign up as a group, please contact your local library branch.
Earn prizes by reading or doing activities or both!
At the end of Summer Reading, each library location will have 2 drawings for a $150 gift card to a local bookstore.
Beanstack is a service for tracking reading. Nashville Public Library uses Beanstack to manage our reading programs. Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) also uses Beanstack for reading programs. If your child is a student at MNPS, you can link their school and public library Beanstack accounts.
