SLC's Summer Reading Challenge Returns June 6th with Digital Logs

June 3, 2020

The St. Lucie County Library System’s Summer Reading Challenge returns offering families a digital online tracking system.

The digital Summer Reading Challenge runs June 6, 2020 through August 8th, offering students a chance to win a variety of prizes including a free Kindle Free or a $25 gift card.

Google and Apple users can install "Beanstack Tracker" on your phone or tablet and search for "St. Lucie" to sign up to track your reading digitally, earning virtual badges for each hour read.

Complete the challenge, download your special certificate, and you are automatically entered into the Grand Prize Drawing.

Students in kindergarten through 5th grade need to read at least 12 hours over the summer and bring their completed log to any branch library or log the hours on Beanstack.

Teens can take part in the Summer Reading Challenge. Young adults (grades 6-12) need to read 20 hours and tell us your favorite moment in each book.

Families with infants and pre-schoolers can also join the competition. The Read With Me Log is for newborns to pre-k children. Parents read to or with their children for 12 hours. The Read With Me participants will be entered into a drawing for a “Pete, the Cat” doll and board book collection; one at each of the seven locations.

Every child that completes their logs will be entered into the grand prize drawing for the Kindle Fire, which will take place on Saturday, August 8, 2020.

St. Lucie County’s Summer Reading Challenge is sponsored the Friends of the Library and the Children’s Services Council of St. Lucie County.
